 The `DigitalOcean`_ datasource consumes the content served from DigitalOcean's `metadata service`_.  This
metadata service serves information about the running droplet via HTTP over the link local address
169.254.169.254.  The metadata API endpoints are fully described at 
`https://developers.digitalocean.com/metadata/ <https://developers.digitalocean.com/metadata/>`_.

Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DigitalOcean's datasource can be configured as follows:

  datasource:
    DigitalOcean:
      retries: 3
      timeout: 2

- *retries*: Determines the number of times to attempt to connect to the metadata service
- *timeout*: Determines the timeout in seconds to wait for a response from the metadata service
