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/.

Daily monitoring has improved security and performance and supports reliable administration
What I dislike about Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages mainly pertains to the command prompt. Everything is written in the command line, so if it were more graphical, where I could use a mouse pointer or an AI system to update and be more automated and user-friendly, it would be better. There would be no need to memorize any command. For example, if I want to delete something, I should be able to use the mouse pointer, go to the specific folder, and right-click to delete. If Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages added this type of user-friendly graphical interface, it would be more usable and faster for everybody without needing to be a super expert.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"The security system is very highly designed and structured in this operating system."
"Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages is a stable platform."
"The biggest advantage for us in using Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages is that the product we are working with is directly certified under Oracle."
 

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."
"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."
"What I dislike about Oracle Linux 8 | Support by SupportedImages mainly pertains to the command prompt."
"If I had to rate Oracle support from zero to ten, I would rate it about four as it's below expectation."
