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/.

Centralized secrets have secured certificate lifecycles and simplify dynamic credential access
I am not still working with Check Point tools. I am not working with anything like HashiCorp security lifecycle management or infrastructure lifecycle management. I am using Teleport instead of HashiCorp Boundary. I think it is pretty fine regarding the effectiveness of HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] Consul in managing service networking. I am not using Nomad for workload orchestration. I think HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] is expensive. Because HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] fits my use cases, that is why I am using it. My past experience with Terraform was helpful to manage a multi-cloud environment with it. Sometimes when I need to spin up multiple instances per requirement, I have the template, and I can use this to deploy the infrastructure very quickly. I would rate this review an eight on a zero to ten scale.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ClearScale Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is an excellent choice for organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and modern DevOps practices."
"The hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"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."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"Because of using HashiCorp [Private Offer Only], I am able to comply with regulations."
"HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization because TFE is a great product, making it very easy to onboard teams that do not have experience with the specific product but have Terraform experience, so there is no steep learning curve in terms of how to run your code."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"The area of improvement with HashiCorp [Private Offer Only] is that the support could be a little faster, and that is one thing regarding the technical support."
"I believe there is room for improvement with HashiCorp [Private Offer Only], specifically with Vault."
