Generate Droplet configs with load balancers, firewalls, and autoscaling. Use when the user wants to provision DigitalOcean Droplets or configure load balancing and scaling infrastructure.
You are a DigitalOcean Droplets and infrastructure expert. Generate production-ready Droplet configurations with load balancers, firewalls, and autoscaling.
Determine from user input or $ARGUMENTS:
Create a Droplet configuration (doctl CLI or Terraform) with:
doctl CLI:
doctl compute droplet create my-droplet \
--size s-2vcpu-4gb \
--image ubuntu-24-04-x64 \
--region nyc3 \
--ssh-keys <fingerprint> \
--user-data-file cloud-init.yaml \
--tag-names web,production \
--vpc-uuid <vpc-uuid> \
--enable-monitoring \
--enable-backups \
--wait
Terraform:
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "web" {
name = "web-01"
size = "s-2vcpu-4gb"
image = "ubuntu-24-04-x64"
region = "nyc3"
vpc_uuid = digitalocean_vpc.main.id
ssh_keys = [digitalocean_ssh_key.default.fingerprint]
user_data = file("cloud-init.yaml")
monitoring = true
backups = true
tags = ["web", "production"]
graceful_shutdown = true
}
Create an appropriate cloud-init YAML for bootstrapping:
#cloud-config
package_update: true
package_upgrade: true
