Google App Engine is the best in terms of free tier for developers. I am sure Microsoft can afford it but they don't. That is too bad.

Allow provisioned VM pricing to be altered to add software licensing without reprovisioning
As an Azure VM user/administrator, I would like to be able to take an existing VM priced at one rate, and "upgrade" the pricing to include licensing for products installed after provisioning. I would like this to provide flexibility (e.g., if I want to install SQL Server on a Windows priced VM, without losing install/configuration work already undertaken on that VM and without independently licensing SQL; or if I want to add BizTalk to a Win/SQL-priced VM). I would also like this to allow simplified compliance (e.g., a Windows-priced VM is found to have SQL Server installed after provisioning), to…

Change geographical region for a given resource
A while back, you did not have a data centre in the UK, so I deployed all my resources to the North Europe region as that was the nearest. Now you do have a UK region, but all my resources are in the North Europe data centre. To migrate everything closer to home, is a real pain in the back side at the moment. Please provide an easy way to migrate across data centres difference resources such as Web Apps, Databases, Storage containers, etc.

Increase the ARM default Core Quota per region
[ENG] Please increase the default limit for VMs/Cores in Azure Resource Manager.
The current ARM default Core/VM limit per region for an Azure in Open and even some Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions is only 10-20. This is not enough at all to deploy a few VMs, and it prevents customers from expanding their service towards rapid business growth and urgent requirement. More flexibility and convenience should be provided as default.
[Japanese] Azure リソースマネージャの仮想マシン／コア数の既定上限値引き上げ依頼
Azure in Open や従量課金プランのサブスクリプションについて、現在のAzure リソースマネージャの仮想マシン／コア数の既定上限値は、10 から 20 程度です。
この既定上限値では、十分な仮想マシンを作成することができず、お客様の大切なビジネスの急成長や必要性に対応することができません。
既定上限値が緩和され、柔軟に便利に利用できるよう改善よろしくお願いいたします。133 votes -
ip restrict access to visual studio online
Our company houses our source code in Visual Studio Online. Currently a developer with an account can log in from home and download our entire code base which is basically our intellectual property - not good if they are about to resign and go to a competitor.
My suggestion is to allow IP restrictions on downloading code/workspaces. The rest of the site should be accessible from any IP, but users would be forced to VPN into the office to access the source code.130 votes -
ensure all documents that have AZ CLI examples also have PowerShell Examples
There are many pages of documents that have only AZ CLI examples for them. For a PowerShell user this is not exactly helpful and reduces the capability of IT Pro's & Dev's to get to grips with these newer offerings
Therefore please make it a requirement to have PowerShell Examples listed next to any AZ CLI examples so that those that are comfortable with PowerShell
I have raised a GitHub Issue to have this tracked as well https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/13162#issuecomment-411907216

DO NOT DELETE SERVICES IMMEDIATELY WHEN A SUBSCRIPTION RUNS OUT
see [REG:115031012492134] support reference for full history of this issue
Hi,
It would be great if you could answer the following questions:
1) Please show me where on the azure web site that it states that cloud services are auto deleted immediately if a subscription is disabled for any reason.
2) Please let me know if you also delete cloud services automatically without warning “by design” if a credit card expires or fails dues to funds shortage or the like?
3) Why do you want to seriously annoy your customers by designing your system like this????? That is a ridiculous…125 votes -

Support to TripleDES and DUKPT on KeyVault
In Payment Industry, cryptographic keys that are used to encrypt PIN from credit/debit cards are TripleDES (sometimes with DUKPT) based. Currently, KeyVault only support RSA keys.
Please add support to it.

SLES 15 support for ASR
My customer hopes that SLES 15 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15) will be supported for Azure Site Recovery in the near future. I'd like you to consider that as soon as possible.

Support Tags in the Microsoft Azure Enterprise content pack for Power BI
Please support Tags in the Microsoft Azure Enterprise content pack for Power BI. Currently we have to make incredibly manual slicers for it, or else download the data via powershell, programmatic split the Tags into individual fields, and then reupload the data to be analyzed separately, instead of being able to do this straight out of BI.

Azure Policy For Preventing Public Blob Containers
There are no ARM REST API properties for Blob containers which means we can't create an Azure Policy for not allowing people to ever create public blob containers.
This is how every AWS breach has occurred due to accidentally setting storage to public.

Available Disk Space monitoring and alerts are not sufficient
The current available tools for visualizing and alerting on available Disk Space for Azure Virtual Machines should be expanded. In the Dashboards module, there is no Live Tile that would allow you to see a Virtual Machine's disks and available space. You can get some data through custom queries, but these queries are manual-refresh only and are not truly suited to a live Dashboard environment.
Similarly, there is no way to create an Alert for low disk space in the current Alerts module. In Alerts (Classic) there was a % Free Disk Space - this is not sufficient because it…

Improvement of EA portal
Currently once the administrator sets "AO view charges" Enabled, every Account Owner come to be able to view the all charges of every subsections.
We demand the improvement about the authority setting so that the Account Owners can see their own subscription's information only.89 votes -
Move resource(s) to another location.
I wish I could move resource(s) to another location just like I can move it now to another Resource Group or Subscription.
For example, I just created a new Function App, with a new Storage Account and put them in a new Resource Group. After all resources were provisioned, I realized that I forget to picked up a location I want. Instead of South Central US, I need them to be in West US.
It would be super handy if I can just move them all to the West US location. Instead, I have to delete resources and recreate them…

E-mail notifications for "Impossible travel to atypical locations" reporting
E-mail notifications for "Impossible travel to atypical locations" reporting. Presently admins need to watch this portal screen all day/night to see if there are new entries. It would be much better to see an e-mail notification about it.

Expose Partner of Record information in PowerShell for Azure subscriptions and Office 365
Currently we need to use the web interface to see and update the PoR information for Azure subscriptions and for Office 365 license subscriptions.
At a minimum, it would be handy to see that information in the details of Get-AzureSubscription and Get-MsolSubscription
That way, we can easily see if any of them need to be fixed without needing to go into each one individually.Obviously the follow-up on that would be to add the ability to set the information.
Thanks.

Internal load balancer vnet peering
Currently when you connect 2 VNETS using a global vnet peer you cannot access internal load balancer between the networks. E.g if you have a resource behind a load balancer in vnet1 and you try to connect to the load balancer from vnet2 then you cannot connect.
This causes problems for SQL Server Availability groups running over 2 regions meaning you need an internal load balancer in each region. If you then have a web farm spread over the 2 regions only web servers within the region hosting the listener address can connect to the listener. This basically removes one…

Billing admin
Azure *must* allow distinct access for billing admins and technical admins. If Azure is trying to be an enterprise solution, they must not expect companies to share logins, or for technical admins to have to download and mail the billing statement to the financial admin. Every company on the planet has distinct technical admins and billing admins. I doubt that Microsoft's CTO and CFO are sharing logins.
