DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) is a managed Kubernetes service. Deploy Kubernetes clusters with a fully managed control plane, high availability, autoscaling, and native integration with DigitalOcean Load Balancers and volumes. DOKS clusters are compatible with standard Kubernetes toolchains and the DigitalOcean API and CLI.
The DigitalOcean API lets you manage DigitalOcean resources programmatically using conventional HTTP requests. All the functionality available in the DigitalOcean Control Panel is also available through the API.
You can use the API to create, delete, and manage Kubernetes clusters.
doctl
is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.
doctl
supports managing Kubernetes clusters from the command line. See the doctl
documentation or use doctl kubernetes --help
for more information.
