Connect DigitalOcean to GitHub Copilot
Give GitHub Copilot governed access to DigitalOcean through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add DigitalOcean to GitHub Copilot in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in GitHub Copilot then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve DigitalOcean in Runlayer
Add DigitalOcean from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect GitHub Copilot to Runlayer
GitHub Copilot gets connector tools through the Runlayer Plugin, and reaches DigitalOcean’s tools through the plugin’s search and execute tools.

Sign in to DigitalOcean
An admin adds DigitalOcean credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.

Use DigitalOcean from GitHub Copilot
DigitalOcean’s approved tools appear in GitHub Copilot. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
DigitalOcean tools in GitHub Copilot
DigitalOcean reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in GitHub Copilot
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what GitHub Copilot exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every DigitalOcean call from GitHub Copilot passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, GitHub Copilot as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for GitHub Copilot yet, so control happens at the gateway.
