This post is some heavily commented example code that shows you how you can use Python to script up creation of Digital Ocean VMs (Droplets), start web servers on them, and connect them to a load balancer that provides TLS (LB coming in an update to this post later).
The code for do.py can be found here: https://gist.github.com/johnandersen777/f1f13d77dc7dd4403a6647baa3926042
The first time we'll see that there are no containers to kill or remove. And that the Python 3.8 container had to be pulled down before it could be run.
