We are a government customer with a GCC-Mid (L2) Azure Active Directory tenant. That means that it is a GCC tenant that runs on Azure Public infrastructure so that it can provide identity services to Office 365 GCC. We have our Azure Public subscriptions linked to that tenant within https://portal.azure.com/. Everything works fine EXCEPT being able to register an on-premise data gateway within our tenant and allowing our Logic Apps in Azure Public to connect to that on-premise data gateway. This is because the gateway is registered in an Azure Government region so that Power BI GCC can leverage it. That all makes sense for a customer who uses Office 365 GCC, but it doesn't work when we ALSO want to use Logic Apps in Azure Public in subscriptions that are linked to the same tenant. For now the workaround would be to create a 2nd AAD tenant in Azure Public, but that is not a great solution because it introduces additional management overhead of a second identity provider when all of our identity is centered already in the GCC-Mid (L2) tenant.

Is there any way this can be simplified for the government customers who want to leverage Azure Public as much as possible?

AD B2C recently had an outage for 2.5+ hours, and I wouldn't have known had I not found it by luck. Nothing I can currently do will properly monitor this CRUCIAL component of my application. Arguably it's so important MS would never let it go down, but alas, 2.5 hours happened. And in the RCA for that outage, there was no mention of next steps improving customer side monitoring of the system. Please don't make me manually ping/screen scrape a login attempt every 5 minutes.. It would be shameful of MS if that were my best course forward.

So: Please add some ability to proactively monitor AD B2C (and likely regular AD while you're at it).

On a related note, there should be monitoring as to the success/failure statistics of the service itself. For example, I want to know if there's all of a sudden 5000 failed attempts to login in certain period, as that likely means an attack or is underway.

Ticket #120121725003524 for more info internally to MS.

Provide Azure region in Scandinavia

A lot of companies and governments in Sweden demand that their data is physically stored in the country. By not having an Azure data center there prevents a lot of applications and services for the Swedish market to be hosted in Azure.
Amazon is now realizing this and puts up 3 datacenters in the middle of Sweden.
Sweden has alot of good qualities, like cheaper cooling because of the weather as well as alot of good technical personell availiable, and putting up a scandinavian region, would make it much better for all scandinavian countries, because of the trust that exists between us, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark as well as Island.

I have a concern using the Standard tier in a production environment.

My users can select and upload multiple images and I'd like to make 3 calls per image (1 analyzer, 2 thumbnails), naturally preferring to make those API calls concurrently.

Doing so, even with a single user uploading 4 images, when done concurrently, I'm over the 10/sec rate limit and this doesn't even begin to factor in multiple users trying to upload at the same time.

With rate limits so low I'm either going to have to make a bunch of Vision API accounts and do some kind of custom pooling solution, or put in a hacky "did you get the rate limit error? try again in a second and hope you muscle your way to the front of the line before the next guy" solution

Thanks!

Currently, availability zones are only supported in a select set of regions. The ask is to be able to make a REST API call to see if a given region and resource type supports the availability zone. If so, how many zones are there.

For example:
While creating the VM using Portal, if we select the region as Central US which supports availability zones, it does enable the Availability Zone option in Portal UI.
And If user selects the Size as "Standard_DS3" which supports only Zone "3".

Similar support required from Rest API, is there a way we can get the supported list of Availability Zone(s) based on Region, Resource etc.
