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 data has supported daily transactions and reporting across all business teams
One area I would like to see improved in SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages is the licensing and feature limitations in the standard edition. Some of the more advanced capabilities are now only available in the Enterprise edition, which can be frustrating when our requirements grow. Another challenge is managing database upgrades and compatibility, particularly when we are moving older applications to a newer environment. We sometimes have to spend extra time testing everything to make sure existing applications continue working properly. I would also appreciate if Microsoft would simplify some of the configuration options and make troubleshooting error messages easier to understand. The product works well for our regular operations, but these improvements would make life easier for our development and DBA teams.

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."
"Since making the switch to SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages, we've noticed improved customer satisfaction and faster response times."
"One of the biggest improvements we have noticed since using SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages is that our applications are easier to maintain, especially when we are releasing updates or making changes to the database."
 

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."
"If there was one area for improvement I would suggest for SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages, it would be to have a lower price and perhaps some integration with artificial intelligence agents to help improve queries or functions on some tables to reduce performance issues."
"One area I would like to see improved in SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages is the licensing and feature limitations in the standard edition."
