What are Droplets?
Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.
esizing a Droplet, also known as vertical scaling, increases the amount of resources a Droplet has. There are two resizing options for Droplets:
- CPU and RAM only. This option lets you increase or decrease the amount of CPU and RAM available to a Droplet.
- Disk, CPU, and RAM. This option increases the amount of CPU and RAM available to a Droplet and permanently increases the size of a Droplet’s disk.
