+
+## Summary
+
+DigitalOcean is a cloud computing platform built for developers and businesses who want a simple way to deploy & manage their infrastructure. This is a KEP proposing DigitalOcean as a cloud provider within the Kubernetes ecosystem.
+
+## Motivation
+
+### Goals
+
+* Supporting DigitalOcean within the Kubernetes ecosystem. This involves:
+  * providing an open community to promote discussions for Kubernetes on DigitalOcean
+  * providing an open environment for developing Kubernetes on DigitalOcean
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+* Using the Kubernetes ecosystem/community to onboard more users onto our platform.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Repository Requirements
+
+The existing repository hosting the [DigitalOcean cloud controller manager](https://github.com/digitalocean/digitalocean-cloud-controller-manager) satisfies requirements as outlined in KEP 0002.
+
+### User Experience Reports
+
+DigitalOcean recently announced a [Kubernetes offering](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/). Many users have already signed up for early access. DigitalOcean is also a gold member of the CNCF.
+
+## Proposal
+
+### Subproject Leads
+
+Initially there will be one subproject lead. In the future the goal is to have 3 subproject leads.
