Digitalocean Overview

This is your starting point for DigitalOcean work. It covers account setup, project organization, and maps out the service landscape across compute, storage, databases, and networking. It also explains the four ways to interact with the platform: Control Panel, doctl CLI, REST API, and Terraform. What's useful here is the skill map that points you to eight deeper skills for specific services, so you can quickly navigate to Kubernetes, managed databases, or whatever you're actually building. Think of it as the orientation doc that helps you avoid getting lost in DO's product catalog when you're onboarding or planning architecture.
