+title: Calico on Digital Ocean
+---
+
+Calico is designed to provide high performance massively scalable virtual
+networking for containers in public cloud environments such as Digital Ocean.
+
+## How to Run Calico in Digital Ocean
+
+Digital Ocean offers two networking options for droplets.
+Calico can be launched on either:
+
+- Public Interface
+- Private Interface [Optional]
+
+We recommend running Calico on the private interface, as it enhances security by
+ensuring Calico services are not accessible from the wider internet.
+
+However, hosts in different Datacenter Regions will not have IP connectivity with one
+another on their private address, and therefore will not be able to establish
+BGP sessions with one another. For mluti-region digital ocean clusters,
+bind Calico to the public interface.
+
+###### Enable Encapsulation
+
+In Digital Ocean, cross-host container-to-container traffic will travel over an
+L3 hop. Since Digital Ocean does not allow peering to the L3 hop, it will
+not know how to route this container traffic, and will drop it.
+
+To remedy this, Calico can encapsulate container traffic with the IP so that the
+networking fabric never sees the container IPs, allowing standard routing to
+take over. Turn on traffic encapsulation in pool settings by enabling:
+
+- `ipip` for container-to-container traffic.
+- `nat-outgoing` for container-to-ec2-instance traffic.
+
+See [pool configuration]({{site.baseurl}}/{{page.version}}/reference/calicoctl/resources/ippool) for information on how to enable this for IP pools.
+
+###### Ensure Calico Chooses Correct IP
+
+Note that calicoctl's automatic IP detection will launch calico/node on the private
+address if the droplet is configured to have a private interface.
+
+Ensure you manually specify `--ip` when launching `calicoctl node run` if you
+want it to bind to the public interface.
