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/.

The learning curve part could be improved. Once you start using Tableau [Private Offer Only], you do not have a problem, but if you are new, that aspect hits you immediately and confuses you. Additionally, if natural language processing were incorporated, it would make life easier for users looking to quickly get insights from their data. Currently, I am linking KNIME and Tableau [Private Offer Only] because there are many things you can do easily with KNIME, and Tableau Prep could be better. Tableau [Private Offer Only] Prep does impact data readiness, but it is difficult to train others using it compared to using KNIME for data cleansing. It is good if you know what you are doing. I believe the focus should be on improving the AI side of Tableau [Private Offer Only] so I can load my data dictionary and business glossary for better assistance in my analyses. The learning curve for data cleansing is not ideal as it could be. People new to Tableau [Private Offer Only] often confuse dimensions and measures, which could be simplified through explanations or even tooltips.

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 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."
"ClearScale Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is an excellent choice for organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and modern DevOps practices."
"The same-day engineering support has been very valuable."
"The hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"If you use Tableau [Private Offer Only], you get value for money and the ability to demonstrate your analysis and visualizations effectively."
"Tableau [Private Offer Only] is easy to use for creating visualizations, it is easy to navigate, and it has incorporated formulas which are not difficult to understand, making it an ideal easy-to-use tool."
 

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."
"Enterprise management and compliance tooling could be more comprehensive out of the box."
"The CIS L1 AppArmor enforcement breaks Docker 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."
"At the moment, I do not find it cost-effective, and I have not seen any measurable benefits or ROI with Tableau [Private Offer Only]."
"The learning curve part could be improved. Once you start using Tableau [Private Offer Only], you do not have a problem, but if you are new, that aspect hits you immediately and confuses you."
