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/.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, and easy to work on."
"The ROI from utilizing Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] reflects a major reduction in time to market, particularly in manufacturing where product analyses and forecasts are delivered rapidly, often within a 30-minute window to consumers."
"Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] provides the ability to centralize our data and its simplicity in comparison to other cloud databases."
"The biggest advantage of Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is scalability; I can directly use the muscle power of Snowflake to increase or decrease compute power easily."

Cons

"The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker 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 area for improvement in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] revolves around streaming data handling, especially when compared to competitors like Databricks, which offer advanced connectors such as ZeroBus for direct data streaming."
"The area in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] that has room for improvement is the warehouse cost, which majorly impacts us."
"I think if Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] could provide some inbuilt AI capability, that would be great."
"The main area for improvement is the integrations component, particularly ETLs in Snowflake Data Cloud."
"I think Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] can work on credit consumption costs, which are currently high."
