Digital Ocean Kubernetes API

[DigitalOcean Kubernetes](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/) allows you to quickly deploy scalable and secure Kubernetes clusters. By sending requests to the `/v2/kubernetes/clusters` endpoint, you can list, create, or delete clusters as well as scale node pools up and down, recycle individual nodes, and retrieve the kubeconfig file for use with a cluster.
