Before you decide
Is DigitalOcean suitable for your data?
The documented statements above do not settle suitability for your use. Match the evidence to your proposed plan, data and configuration, then resolve the requirements that remain open.
Check the scope
Does the source cover the exact service, region and plan you would buy? Review the document date and any exceptions.
Test your access
Try the roles, guest sharing and access removal your workflow needs. Record the result and the conditions of the test.
Own the follow-up
Give every unresolved question an owner. Request the relevant evidence before treating it as a passed or failed requirement.
