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/.

Accurate coordinates have powered faster weather data integration for remote store locations
If Geocoder.ca had a direct connection with weather stations, that would be very useful. Rather than just giving me coordinates, immediately providing me with weather data would be a helpful improvement. Other than that, it does the job quite accurately. Adding more features than just plain coordinates would be beneficial, such as weather or other features that would make Geocoder.ca a ten for me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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 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."
"The hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"When I compare other tools, I was using some applications for the same use case that took around thirty minutes to one hour to fetch the latitude and longitude for the particular region, now by using Geocoder.ca, I am able to get all the latitude and longitude for the region within five to ten minutes, showing a difference of twenty-five to thirty minutes, and the productivity has increased to the point where the deadline of the project gets reduced by one to two weeks."
"Geocoder.ca does the job that it is supposed to do and does it quickly, efficiently, and more importantly, accurately."
 

Cons

"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."
"The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker out of the box."
"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."
"Enterprise management and compliance tooling could be more comprehensive out of the box."
"If Geocoder.ca could provide a free API for the current limitations, it could be helpful for those who have not purchased the product."
"If Geocoder.ca had a direct connection with weather stations, that would be very useful."
