# Ray and DigitalOcean

> What is running, where, without opening the console.

Ray is an AI teammate that works in your team chat, on Slack today. Connect DigitalOcean and it can do the DigitalOcean part of a request without anyone leaving the conversation: read what it needs, draft the change, and post it for approval before anything is written. 8 reads run without asking. Writing to DigitalOcean is not switched on yet.

## What Ray reads in DigitalOcean

Reading changes nothing, so Ray never stops to ask whether it may look something up.

- Droplets, apps, databases, and Kubernetes clusters
- Load balancers, volumes, and snapshots

## What Ray writes

Ray reads DigitalOcean and answers from it in the thread. Writing to DigitalOcean is not switched on yet, so there is nothing to approve.

## Things Ray is never handed

These are left out during curation, so they are not something Ray could do and decides against. They are not in front of it at all.

- Create or delete a droplet, cluster, or database
- Change firewalls, domains, or DNS records
- Touch SSH keys

## Ask it like this

- "@Ray how many droplets are we running in fra1?"

## Connecting DigitalOcean

Every person on the team connects their own DigitalOcean account on DigitalOcean's own login screen, so Ray can only reach what that person can already reach, and the history in DigitalOcean shows who actually asked. Passwords never pass through Ray. Disconnecting DigitalOcean or uninstalling Ray revokes the connection.
