Connect DigitalOcean to Zed
Give Zed governed access to DigitalOcean through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add DigitalOcean to Zed in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed 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 Zed to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches DigitalOcean’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.
Zed setup guide - 3
Sign in to DigitalOcean
An admin adds DigitalOcean credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use DigitalOcean from Zed
DigitalOcean’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
DigitalOcean tools in Zed
DigitalOcean reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every DigitalOcean call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
