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/.

Automation has transformed reconciliation accuracy and now cuts manual effort across operations
Turbot's best feature is its ease of use and simple installation process, as it is a no-code, low-code platform. It is well integrated with all libraries that can be used directly with drag and drop feature availability, including Excel automation, Outlook automation, reading and writing emails, and automating web portals with the Universal Recorder feature, which records all applications using one single recorder whether it is a desktop application, web application, or mainframe application. The Universal Recorder has positively impacted my daily work and my team's productivity because we do not have to rely on any other recorder and have consistency of the XPath and web element capturing. It automatically captures depending on the target application. Users do not have to do anything else; they just have to start the recorder, click on the actions, and things will get recorded easily. Another feature of Turbot is the low-code Cockpit web application, which provides a real pictorial view of all the bots on the dashboards, showing what is running, what is in progress, what is paused or failed. It has a continuous notification system in case of failures and successful bot executions, and includes a user management feature with role-based access control. Since integrating with Turbot, our organization has benefited by reducing the FTE percentage from 5% of the manual team using it. We have cut down almost 20 FTE resources, which has saved our costs, and the integration of automation with Turbot has served significantly in the cost optimization part. These cost savings and resource reductions were seen within a year of implementing Turbot. The specific process that benefited the most was related to retail operations of reconciliation of the manual books. Turbot integrates well with all other applications such as Excel, Outlook, the S3 bucket of AWS, and other API applications, which can be easily integrated with the help of REST API and SOAP components directly available. It also has a rich feature for developing custom libraries and components which are easily accessible through the toolbox of the application. Turbot has rich documentation with user guides that can be directly followed, and there are YouTube videos now published on Turbot application on how to get started and how to begin with one single RPA bot to convert manual tasks into automation.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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 hourly software charge is small relative to the engineering time we used to spend building and maintaining our own hardened AMI."
"The same-day engineering support has been very valuable."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"ClearScale Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is an excellent choice for organizations adopting cloud-native technologies and modern DevOps practices."
"The predefined policy library is probably the biggest time-saver for us."
"Since integrating with Turbot, our organization has benefited by reducing the FTE percentage from 5% of the manual team using it, we have cut down almost 20 FTE resources, which has saved our costs, and the integration of automation with Turbot has served significantly in the cost optimization part."
 

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."
"I think ease of use is the main area that needs improvement."
"The support system of Turbot needs more improvement in terms of raising SLA tickets and maintaining the TAT should get a little more refined, but not in respect to features, as rest of all things are good."
