What makes DO tier2? I use 1 linode for personal stuff, but otherwise, I'm all in on dedicated baremetal. From my perspective, DO is just another cloud vendor.

What makes DO tier2?

- dewey 7y agoI'd say because they have way less products and glue services between these than the big ones (GCP, AWS, Azure). Just compare the list on the product pages: - https://www.digitalocean.com/products/ https://www.digitalocean.com/products/ - https://aws.amazon.com/products/ https://aws.amazon.com/products/ Also DO doesn't have a lot of more niche services like Redshift, Mail, ML
- manigandham 7y agoAWS, GCP, and Azure have a huge portfolio of datacenters, infrastructure, compute, networking, storage, security, databases, analytics, AI/ML, and other managed services that are completely missing from DigitalOcean. DO is tier 2 because it provides basic IaaS components along with S3/Spaces, managed databases, load balancing, and K8S as compared to providers like Linode which would be tier 3 and below.
