## AI overview

DigitalOcean announces one-click deployment for OpenClaw on Droplet servers, enabling always-on agentic AI in a security-hardened cloud environment. The deployment packages security and operational defaults for continuous use while keeping deployment simple.

## Source excerpt

Note: OpenClaw is formerly known as Moltbot and Clawdbot We're excited to announce 1-Click deployment for OpenClaw on DigitalOcean Droplet® servers, now starting at just $12/month, making it faster and more affordable than ever to run always-on, agentic AI in a security-hardened cloud environment. OpenClaw's rapid adoption is a powerful example of developer-led innovation. Built and maintained by Peter Steinberger and a growing open-source community, OpenClaw shows how quickly individual builders are pushing agentic AI forward. As usage has surged, one thing has become clear: building agents is only half the challenge--running them safely, continuously, and predictably is the hard part. DigitalOcean is designed for what happens when agents move from experimentation into systems at scale that require production inference, secure operation, and cloud infrastructure that scales with real usage. As OpenClaw moved from experimentation to continuous use, three challenges surfaced quickly: securing agent access, isolating agent execution from the rest of the system, and protecting credentials while keeping deployments simple. The DigitalOcean 1-Click Deploy OpenClaw was built specifically to address these problems, packaging production-grade defaults into a deployment that still feels fast and developer-controlled. With DigitalOcean's 1-Click provisioning on Droplet® servers, developers can run OpenClaw in a cloud environment with strong security and operational defaults applied automatically while still enabling all the best features of how OpenClaw works and how developers build. This experience is part of DigitalOcean's broader Agentic Inference Cloud:a full-stack cloud platform built to run inference-heavy workloads reliably in production. The 1-Click Deploy OpenClaw provides a fast on-ramp, running on infrastructure purpose-built for continuous inference, predictable performance, and usage-based economics as agent workloads scale. From local agents to always-on systems
