September 2013 Summaries

DigitalOcean has introduced Shared Private Networking for Droplets in their NYC2 datacenter, allowing Droplets to communicate with each other without public internet access. This feature enables traffic between Droplets across the private network to be used for database replication, file storage, and similar host-to-host communication, without counting towards bandwidth costs. Additionally, DigitalOcean has updated their Private Networks to be isolated within the account or team where they were created as of July 2018.
