DigitalOcean has introduced two significant updates to its Spaces object storage solution to enhance security, compliance, and user control. The newly available Spaces access logs provide detailed records of file read and write requests, including those through CDN endpoints, helping users monitor storage usage trends, detect unusual patterns, and meet compliance needs. These logs are compatible with Amazon S3 and CloudFront formats, integrating seamlessly with existing workflows. The second update, the Spaces connection wizard, simplifies the setup of third-party S3-compatible tools like the AWS CLI by guiding users through the configuration process and generating ready-to-use commands, thereby reducing the risk of misconfigurations and failed transfers. Both features are provided at no additional cost, aiming to empower developers and teams to manage object storage more securely and efficiently.
