Digital Ocean  
Memory Optimized Droplets Are Now Generally Available  
Your apps’ performance and stability can depend greatly on the characteristics of the  
infrastructure you use.  
That’s why, over the past few years, we’ve introduced both

and

CPU Optimized Droplets  
dot  Yet, while these new Droplet types make Digital Ocean a great fit for  
all sorts of new use cases, they don’t address every business need.  
So we’re making one more  
virtual machine instance type generally available: the Memory Optimized Droplet, with memory and  
dedicated compute in a ratio of 8GB:1v CPU.  
As of today, Memory Optimized Droplets are Generally Available in the following data centers: New  
York (NYC 1, NYC 3), San Francisco (SFO 2), and Amsterdam (AMS 3).  
We expect to add these Droplet types  
in Singapore (SGP 1) over the next few weeks, and other data centers in the coming months.  
Why might you need Memory Optimized Droplets?  
Simply put, the same thing happens when your cloud based virtual machine runs low on RAM as happens  
on your personal computer: applications slow down considerably, or even crash due to OO Ms –

Virtual machines  
with 2v CP Us, 16GB of RAM, 50 GB SSD, and 4TB transfer cost $90 per month, plain and simple.
