1. Does the provider keep their promises?
Digital Ocean promised IPv6 support and the ability to run custom kernels several years before they provided this support.
2. Is the networking secure?
The "Private IP" addresses in Digital Ocean are accessible to anyone in the same zone.
3. Will they cover your ass?

- _RPM 10y agoYeah, it's basically a 10.0.0.0/8 network where any VM can talk to anyone in their same subnet. You'd have to do some iptables work in order to "lock down" your private net.
- api 10y agoAmazon, Google, and Microsoft have never added IPv6 support years and years after saying they were "working on it."
- taf2 10y agoFrom 2011 aws elb and dns have supported IPv6 [0]. For most websites this is really nice way to support IPv6, IMO [0] https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2011/05/24/elb-ipv6-zoneapex-securitygroups/ https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2011/05/24/elb-ip...
- api 10y agoNot everything is a web site. Also personally I find V6 more useful under the fold. For a gateway it's nice to support but doesn't give you anything. In your intranet it makes address conflicts go away forever and lets everything autoscale with zero configuration. This can be done with V4 but less conveniently and with more complexity under the hood (and therefore more things to break).
