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 best features that Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers offers are PowerShell and the latest features of Windows Server 2022.In my day-to-day use case of PowerShell with Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers, I perform bulk operations such as user creation, user deletion, user disable, security group creation, and I also verify the replication. Regarding the features of Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers, it features a new view of Windows Server 2022 along with the latest PowerShell version, and it supports cloud integration with the operating system, which is very helpful. In terms of AI capabilities, Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers is very capable of providing AI services because it integrates with cloud services such as Azure Arc, which supports on-premises environments through Azure, making it very helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"Once you get that launch template dialed in, the image is incredibly solid."
"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."
"Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers positively impacts my organization by allowing us to install state-of-the-art equipment and guarantee their security."
"Azure Arc integration has provided centralized management of servers across on-premises and cloud environments, which helps me monitor server health, configuration, and compliance."
"Customer support for Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers was phenomenal, especially when I needed quick assistance with Active Directory Domain Services."
"When I say the GUI is much better, it helps me and my team in our day-to-day work because it looks very similar to a user OS, so people will be very familiar with what to do and where to perform steps."
"The interface is friendly and very easy to understand, and the troubleshooting is also easier than on other OS."
"The Azure Arc integration helps me in my day-to-day work by allowing my on-premises server to also be integrated into this, enabling us to monitor all the servers in one place."
"The customer support for Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers is faster and reliable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that it is not budget-oriented, so I can say it is an expensive product, but feature-wise, I would say it is extremely good."
"Improvements are needed in faster technical support response time, more comprehensive 24/7 assistance, better proactive monitoring and maintenance, and improved communication during critical technical issues."
"To improve Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers, the bugs should be fixed."
"I dislike that it is very easy for attackers, the hackers, to attack the Windows platform. The security level is very low compared to other OS."
"I think Windows 2022 Server with support by ProComputers could improve by having guides to the new features and the new processes."
