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

"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."
"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 resource-level cost view is one of the most valuable features for us, providing clear visibility into where our costs are coming from and making it easier to investigate spending in detail."
"The initial insights are spot-on, clear, and deliver immediate value right out of the box."
 

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."
"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."
"There should be better ways to ignore recommendations or filter recommendations."
