You can now add an additional standby node to your managed Redis clusters, for a maximum of two. To add standby nodes, see How to Add Standby Nodes to Redis Database Clusters.
You can now view hundreds of new database metrics by accessing the metrics API endpoint. For more detailed steps, see our guides for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka.
You can now reconfigure MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis databases via the API, which lets you edit many database engine parameters that were previously unavailable for editing. For more detailed steps, see How to Reconfigure Database Clusters.
When creating a new Kubernetes cluster, you can add a free database operator (now in beta), which allows you to automatically link new databases to your cluster. For more details, see our guide.
Redis 7.0 is now available when creating new databases. You can no longer create Redis 6.0 clusters. On 5 November 2022, we will officially no longer support 6.0 and will automatically upgrade all existing clusters to 7.0, with no expected downtime or interruptions.
To improve security, DigitalOcean no longer accepts TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 connections. This includes connections to www.digitalocean.com, cloud.digitalocean.com, and api.digitalocean.com.
You can now configure your MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis Managed Databases by making a PATCH request to /v2/databases/{database_cluster_uuid}/config. For example:
{
"config": {
"sql_mode": "ANSI,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,NO_ZERO_DATE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,STRICT_ALL_TABLES",
"sql_require_primary_key": true
}
}
For more details, see the full reference documentation for the managed databases API.
The database online migration feature for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines no longer supports migrating databases from clusters inside of DigitalOcean to other clusters inside of DigitalOcean.
Online migration is now available for the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis database engines. Online migration allows you to migrate databases from external servers or cloud providers to databases in your DigitalOcean account.
All DigitalOcean databases now support App Platform apps as trusted sources, including MongoDB.
Released v1.63.0 of doctl, the official DigitalOcean CLI. This release includes a number of new features:
database firewall sub-commands now support apps as trusted sourcesmonitoring alert sub-commands for creating and managing alert policies--droplet-agent flag was added to the compute droplet create sub-command to optionally disable installing the agent for the Droplet web consoleYou can now deploy managed databases on Droplets with dedicated CPUs for the PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis engines.
Online migration for PostgreSQL and Redis databases has been released in Beta. Select users can now migrate Redis and PostgreSQL databases that reside inside and outside of DigitalOcean to existing database clusters in their DigitalOcean account. Redis migrations from AWS ElasticCache are not currently supported.
Redis 6 Managed Databases are now available. Redis 6 includes enhanced security features and client-side caching. You can no longer create Redis 5 clusters, but Redis 6 clusters are fully backwards compatible.
The DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service is now available for all customers. VPC replaces the private networking service. Existing private networks will continue to function as normal but with the enhanced security and features of the VPC service. See the description of VPC features for more information.
We began the incremental release of the DigitalOcean Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service. It will be available for all customers soon. VPC replaces the private networking service.
v1.13.0 of the DigitalOcean Terraform Provider is now available. This release adds support for tagging Managed Databases clusters.
Released v1.12.0 of the DigitalOcean Terraform Provider. This release contains improvements to Managed Database support including a new resource for configuring trusted sources and the ability to set the global SQL mode or Redis eviction policy on a cluster. There is also a new data source for finding supported Kubernetes versions. Learn more on the Terraform Changelog.
Bandwidth billing for Managed Databases, originally slated to begin in January 2020, has been postponed to 2021. Egress bandwidth for Managed Databases clusters will continue to be waived until then.
Users can now use the DigitalOcean API to set and modify trusted sources for managed databases to restrict incoming connections.
