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/.

Building AI-assisted disposable research tools has transformed how I automate data gathering
I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement. Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

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 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 benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice."
"Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022."
"Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms."
"Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features."
 

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."
"Enterprise management and compliance tooling could be more comprehensive out of the box."
"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."
"Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability."
"Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code."
"Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use."
"One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored."
