Provider news · November 2023
What the providers shipped
In November, UpCloud rolled out Kubernetes v1.27 with some welcome performance and security improvements, and opened a new Stockholm data center to boost its Nordic presence. DigitalOcean, on the other hand, expanded its Spaces CDN PoPs and introduced deploy-by-image-digest on the App Platform, finally letting you deploy container images using immutable digests. (Finally.) It's a quiet month for the VPS showdown, but if you're chasing the latest Kubernetes version or prefer to host in Sweden, UpCloud has got you covered. DigitalOcean, meanwhile, keeps the tech moving forward without the fanfare.
