Tried this out in early access and wanted to love and use it however a few things that made it not workable:

* wildcard subdomains aren't supported.

* Only CNAMEs to digital ocean's CDN are supported (can't have an A record).

* There was no way to run a console command.

* Bandwidth is 12x higher than usual droplets and unlike standard droplets there isn't an included bandwidth pool.

I'm particularly disappointed to hear this. Digital Ocean likes to say they have simple and predicable pricing, they even say so in TFA - charging high prices for bandwidth is surely the most despised practice of the big 3 cloud providers. I don't expect this from DP. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed...
