I'm assuming that's a paid CDN with clients like CloudFlare or Akamai, not you distributing your website to multiple datacenters in order to serve more clients faster. If you happen to use CDN like DNS features to route the client to the closest Digital Ocean datacenter, you're probably in the clear.

Good point. I wonder if they meant "we ask you don't run a CDN _service_" rather than just a CDN for your website.

Afterall, what is the difference between serving assets out of your webserver
