We’re excited to announce that Block Storage is available in SGP1! Starting today, you can now create and attach Block Storage volumes to SGP1-hosted Droplets from the Control Panel or the API.

To learn more about Block Storage, review our “Getting Started with Block Storage” tutorial series or read up about Block Storage and the DigitalOcean API.

We also plan on adding Block Storage to five additional datacenters in the coming months. Read more about it here.

During the above window the network team will be performing some proactive software upgrades on network infrastructure in SGP1. These upgrades are to enable new features to improve the performance and resilience of the network platform.

Expected Impact:
During the change window users will be unable to perform Droplet actions (e.g. create, destroy, resize) for approximately 30 minutes. There will be no impact to already running Droplets.

Approximately 30 minutes prior to the maintenance we will post an update on status.digitalocean.com and periodic updates will follow as work progresses.

Please do not hesitate to contact support if you have any additional questions or concerns. You may do so by opening a ticket, or replying to this email.

Thank you,
DigitalOcean Network Team

What kind of information is available via metadata?
Examples of available Droplet metadata include Droplet ID, data center region, IP addresses, and user-data.

What is user-data?
User-data is a special piece of metadata that can be provided by the user during the Droplet creation process. This data can be consumed by CloudInit to configure a server.

Which regions support metadata?
At launch, the SGP1, SFO1, LON1, AMS2, AMS3, & NYC3 regions have metadata available.

What is CloudInit?
CloudInit is a process enabled on recent DigitalOcean images that is able to pull down and process information from metadata. When the Droplet boots for the first time, the CloudInit program executes the script it finds in the “user-data” field, providing users the opportunity to automate the initial configuration of their servers.

Which images can process metadata information with CloudInit?
Currently, Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7 base images have CloudInit enabled. Any one-click apps based on these releases will also have this functionality available. CoreOS servers also process the “user-data” field using a different mechanism.

Where can I learn more about using metadata and CloudInit?
We have prepared community articles that cover using the metadata service and writing scripts for CloudConfig. Also, our developer portal contains full documentation of the Metadata API.
