About:
doctl is the official command-line interface (CLI) for DigitalOcean. It allows developers and system administrators to manage and automate their cloud infrastructure resources, including Droplets, Spaces, Load Balancers, and Databases. The tool is essential for integrating DigitalOcean management into CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Key Features:
  • Manage all DigitalOcean resources via the command line
  • Execute commands against the DigitalOcean API
  • Create and manage multiple authentication contexts
  • Generate Terraform configurations from existing resources
  • Interactive mode for easier command discovery
Use Cases:
  • Automating server provisioning and configuration in scripts
  • Integrating infrastructure management into CI/CD pipelines
  • Managing multiple DigitalOcean accounts or teams
Alternatives:
  • Terraform – Terraform is a declarative infrastructure-as-code tool for multiple providers, whereas doctl is an imperative CLI specific to DigitalOcean.
  • DigitalOcean Web Console – The web console provides a graphical interface, while doctl offers faster, scriptable control for power users.
