DigitalOcean Introduces Kubernetes Product

Then why does your marketing for early access say "get a free cluster." Is that implying that Digital Ocean will pay for the worker nodes for early adopters?

EDIT: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/ "Sign up for early access and receive a free Kubernetes cluster through September 2018."

Jamie from DigitalOcean here. Yes users won’t pay for their workers, Block volumes or Load Balancers in early access until the end of September 2018.

I've found DO load balancers cannot reliably handle tls termination over 100 connections per second, and fail completely above around 300/s. Are there plans to make the load balancers more robust as part of this change? We had to switch to DNS load balancing because DO's solution simply could not scale.

Hey Eric, load balancers are getting an upgrade in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled this week!

That is great to hear! A few things I'd really like to see:

* Ability to retrieve host health status in API

* Better throughput guarantees, especially with TLS

* Ability to serve from unhealthy nodes if all nodes are unhealthy

* Load Balancer Health Monitoring
