Orchestrate your DigitalOcean account
Ephemeral droplets, scheduled database scaling, snapshot policies, governance guards, and DNS cutovers. Open source, self-hosted, ready to run.
Partnership
Official DigitalOcean technology partner
Integration
Dedicated plugin: droplets, managed databases, DNS, Kubernetes, firewalls, volumes, load balancers, plus an account-level trigger
Resources
Six production blueprints and a full orchestration guide, tested end to end
DigitalOcean + Kestra: the developer cloud, orchestrated
The io.kestra.plugin.digitalocean plugin turns every resource type on a DigitalOcean account into declarative flow tasks. Combined with Kestra's scheduling, event triggers, and failure handling, teams automate the operations DigitalOcean leaves to scripts and console clicks.
One plugin for the whole account
The official DigitalOcean plugin covers droplets, managed databases, block storage volumes, load balancers, Kubernetes clusters, firewalls, domains, and DNS records with create, read, list, resize, attach, and delete tasks. A dedicated droplet trigger polls the account and fires an execution for every new machine, turning the DigitalOcean API into an event source for governance and cost control.
Ephemeral infrastructure with guaranteed teardown
The flagship pattern provisions a droplet per batch job, waits until DigitalOcean reports it active, runs the workload, and destroys everything in a finally block that executes on success and failure alike. Combined with scheduled database resizing and tag-driven snapshot policies, teams pay for the compute they use instead of the compute they forgot.
Production blueprints, tested end to end
Six ready-to-run blueprints ship in the Kestra catalog: an ephemeral droplet runner, business-hours database resizing, tag-filtered nightly snapshots, a governance guard that powers off shadow droplets, a verified blue-green DNS cutover, and a weekly whole-account inventory report. Each one was executed end to end against the DigitalOcean API surface before publication.
A partnership that keeps shipping
Kestra joined the DigitalOcean partner program in 2026, and the collaboration extends beyond the plugin: orchestration guides, a growing blueprint catalog, and work toward one-click Kestra deployment through the DigitalOcean Marketplace. Teams running on DigitalOcean get a self-hosted, open-source orchestrator that treats their cloud as a first-class citizen.
