CIS hardening has simplified secure container workloads but AppArmor still blocks Docker by default
The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker out of the box. Containers fail to start with a permission denied on the containerd task directory. There is no documentation about this. A simple note explaining that Docker users need to either update the runc AppArmor profile or disable it would save a lot of debugging time. It takes a while to trace the failure back to AppArmor blocking runc writes to /run/containerd/.

Recruiting has become more efficient and consistently delivers strong candidates for every role
Improvements could be made for Dice Tech Recruiting, such as verifying the profiles uploaded by individuals outside the US who are pretending to be in the USA. This would help recruiters reach out to the right candidates, potentially by adding a feature for verification with an ID. I would like to add that while I use mostly Boolean search on Dice Tech Recruiting, sometimes there are glitches resulting in irrelevant results being shown, which does not help in finding the right match. I would suggest that Dice Tech Recruiting should only provide profiles that match our searches. I believe I have covered all the suggestions I could make for improvements needed in Dice Tech Recruiting, but I remain open to suggesting additional features in the future as different scenarios may appear.

Pros

"The pre-applied CIS L1 benchmark is the main selling point, as getting a hardened baseline without manual effort is genuinely useful and the Ubuntu 26.04 LTS base also means I'm on a supported, up-to-date kernel with long-term security patches."
"The hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"The same-day engineering support has been very valuable."
"ClearScale Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is an excellent choice for organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and modern DevOps practices."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"Dice Tech Recruiting has positively impacted my organization by helping it grow; everything is growing."
"Dice Tech Recruiting fits into my workflow and fulfills my requirement flow, allowing me to easily source candidates over Dice, and I close many positions by sourcing through Dice."
"Dice Tech Recruiting has positively impacted my organization by helping us fill roles faster."
"I would advise others looking into using Dice Tech Recruiting to use it more than other job portals if they want to find good, genuine, and great candidates, as Dice Tech Recruiting has a large database which helps in finding all types of resumes or profiles across different tech stacks."
"Dice Tech Recruiting has a positive impact on our organization by helping us source qualified technology candidates more efficiently."

Cons

"The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker out of the box."
"Enterprise management and compliance tooling could be more comprehensive out of the box."
"Because the firewall ships default-deny, the first launch in a new environment takes a little planning to open the exact ports the app and load balancer health checks need."
"It'd be cool to have more detailed changelogs with each new release so we can see exactly what packages got updated without having to boot up a test instance and diff it ourselves."
"The improvements needed for Dice Tech Recruiting include better search accuracy, fewer outdated profiles, strong AI-based candidate matching, improved ATS integration, and better filtration for verification skills and recent experience."
"Dice Tech Recruiting is a very effective platform for technology recruiting, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"My biggest frustration with Dice Tech Recruiting is that while searching with Boolean, I sometimes find irrelevant resumes, as not all skills I search for are highlighted in the profiles."
"I would suggest that Dice Tech Recruiting can be improved by enabling a connection with LinkedIn or finding more relevant profiles."
"I chose eight out of ten for Dice Tech Recruiting because everything is not perfect, and there is always a chance for improvement, such as providing more segregation and clarity on profiles that may not be genuine, for example, identifying if a candidate has submitted their profile multiple times, which would ease our job in finding the right candidates."
"I do sometimes get irrelevant results. When I am looking for a product manager, I would sometimes get recommendations for data engineers, but it is more on the relevant side."
"There are a few things I think should be improved in Dice Tech Recruiting, such as candidates not providing email addresses and contact numbers, leading to wasted time when we cannot reach them after screening their resumes."
"Dice Tech Recruiting's AI could be improved because it is not providing accurate results."
