Provider news · April 2023

What the providers shipped

April 2023's roundup sees DigitalOcean slogging through the usual tech updates, tossing in a trio of new runtimes (Go 1.20, PHP 8.2, Python 3.11) with none of that shiny pricing or region bling. Meanwhile, UpCloud has officially graduated its Managed Kubernetes service to GA, which sounds swell but won't do much for your wallet or your entry-level needs (unless you're into managed, container-heavy workloads, that is). If you're still sweating over where to deploy, don't expect any major shakeups here that'll sway your decision. (Finally, someone's acknowledging container management; we've been waiting ages.)
