danger

After the connection of your Digital Ocean account, ScaleDynamics will create and manage resources in your account. You should not modify, create, or delete these resources to avoid non deterministic behaviors of the ScaleDynamics platform. To interact with ScaleDynamics, please use only our SDK command lines or our console (http://console.scaledynamics.com).

To connect a Digital Ocean account, you need to get a token for a team/project.

Connect to Digital Ocean console

First, connect to Digital Ocean console using your credentials.
