doctl-kubernetes-options: List regions that support Kubernetes clusters.
$ doctl kubernetes options regions
try on your machine

The command "doctl kubernetes options regions" is used with the DigitalOcean Command Line Interface (doctl) tool to list the available regions for DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters.

When you deploy a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean, you can select the region where the cluster will be provisioned. Different regions may have their own advantages, such as better network connectivity, lower latency, or compliance with specific regulations.

By running the "doctl kubernetes options regions" command, you can retrieve a list of all the available regions where you can create a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean. This allows you to choose the most suitable region for your application's requirements and infrastructure needs.

The output of this command will show the available regions, their slugs (short names), and the full names of the regions. For example:

Slug          Name
ams2          Amsterdam 2
ams3          Amsterdam 3
blr1          Bangalore 1
...

This information can help you determine which region you would like to select when creating or managing your DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster using doctl.
