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/.

Unified master data has improved governance and supports flexible cloud and hybrid deployments
I would say it can be a little bit easier to do the configurations because there are a certain number of points where we have to configure the endpoints and the plugins, and what kind of config it would be using. If it would be a little bit similar to on-premises where we do not have to put 10,000 different small things at 10 different places, then it would be a great tool to use. When it comes to integration, there are a certain number of places where we have to put twice those configurations to run them. Sometimes these are being missed and that is not the first thing you check because it has been assumed that the developer has done it. At the end of the day, if we are not able to find it in the first 30 minutes, then we always go into those areas, the plugins where it has to run, the environment variables and everything. Once that is sorted, then we do something else. The first 30 minutes is always spent going into the mapping if it is not running or anything. Then we go to environment variables. That is a little bit an overhead on the developer side. However, other than that, it is a good tool. It would be much easier if few environment variables are straightforward so that once configured, we do not have to configure them for every integration workflow. They should be global environment variables where we can put those tokens into them, config files into them, and that can be utilized by every single workflow which we create.

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."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"The same-day engineering support has been very valuable."
"Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] has AI and machine learning capabilities in a multi-tenant environment."
"The deployment of Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud [Private Offer Only] is super easy."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support for IDMC is good, but it takes a longer time for a resolution, and the process goes in a circle multiple times for simple problems."
"It is a pricey one. I dealt with it in my earlier time, not recently. The SaaS is a lot pricey."
