add "Resource Group" and "Tags" to CSP reconcilation

Add "Resource Group" and "Tags" columns to CSP usage based reconciliation file to help CSP partner divide bill to customer by department basis. At the moment only way is to do with different subscriptions and this causes management + admin overhead

allow setting spending limit on any account type

I cannot afford to have a runaway process or a mistake in the Azure portal to generate a huge bill for me.

Many of the special offers that give Azure credits come with a spending limit of $0.00 such that when your credit is used up, your account is temporarily disabled until your credits are refreshed.

However, you can only remove the spending limit. You cannot change it to a higher level.

Also, Pay as you Go accounts cannot have a spending limit either.

It would be extremely useful to be able to set a spending limit on Pay as you go or Dev Essentials and would make users far less afraid to turning on new services.

I know there is an spending alert that you can turn on (which has been in preview for a very very long time), but all that does is send an email.

That is just not sufficient. If that email is overlooked or goes into your spam folder then you can still end up with a giant bill.

This feature would be important for Personal accounts and larger businesses.

For example, I have personal Azure account linked to my personal credit card. I don't mind spending a limited amount on Azure each month but I can't afford to risk getting a multi-hundred or thousand dollar bill just because I clicked the wrong button.

We keep updating out pricing rates and models to better align with our customers business needs.
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.

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.

Create this new Azure region : Switzerland

Switzerland is a small country but it is one of the world’s strongest economies. Many swiss companies can't make the move to Azure because they do need to have theirs data inside the country.
Please create this new Azure region : Switzerland !
Thanks.

WAF on Application Gateway have a function to allow some exceptional access for prevention mode

It would be great if WAF on Application Gateway have a function to allow some exceptional access for prevention mode.

Now, Web Application Firewall feature would be available as part of Azure Application Gateway.

Currently, WAF on Application Gateway seems to not have a function to exclude from blocking access by any condition.
So, I would like to request to add this function for WAF on Application Gateway.

Address the "Snowden/NSA" issues in every territory in a visible and concrete manner

Let developers and consultants configure where certain data is stored (geographically) and also verify that it is really stored in the given location and does not cross international boundaries at any time. This is important for most companies since they are bound by compliance regulations, insurance, and legal best-practices that require this granularity for particular type of data.

Need a function to URL path rewriting in Application Gateway

Currently, I know Azure Application Gateway has a function for redirection of URL path based.

Now, I need a function for rewriting URL path during redirecting a request to backend server.

For example, When Application Gateway received a HTTP request to http://www.contoso.com/test/*, it redirects the request as /images/* to backend server.

In other words, I want to set a URL path for backend server in PathRuleConfig in Application Gateway.

Enable the use of Azure App Service Certificate with Azure Application Gateway

Today, you have to manage your certificate yourself and provide to Azure Application Gateway a .pfx file.
It would be great if we can have in Azure Application Gateway the same integration we have between Azure App Service and Azure App Service Certificate in order to handle the purchase, renewal, configuration and security of our certificates.
As far as I know, the ASC team has done a seperate Resource Provider and it might be easy to integrate it with other services such as Azure Application Gateway.

Network Security Group

+Feature Request Discussion - There is a continued need for more intelligent NSG's going forward this is not only to provide a more dynamic, distributable scalable network but to replace more traditional models for DMZ designs. Focusing on distributed designs that do not rely on Virtual Appliances.

There following features I believe would put Azure ahead of other cloud providers. These could be canned as a premium offering charged per NSG on any number of measures even number of requests etc..

1. DNS Based Rules
2. NSG NameSpaces for MS Public Services especially Azure PaaS Servers by Service
3. Custom NSG NameSpaces or IP Groups
4. Premium NSG Offerings - IDS/IPS, Web Filtering for outbound Access

Custom error page for Application Gateway.

I want to use custom page instead of deault error page (403) in APPGW.

Use application gateway with prevent mode and SQL injection send to application gateway and then default error page (403) will be displayed.

I want to use custom page instead of that default page.
I hope that application gateway can have a feature to use custom page.

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 again, but using the right location.

I'm totally fine if Microsoft does the same steps and recreate the same resource using the same name in a new location, after dropping a current one. I just want to click a button and wait :)

Azure Active Directory B2C: Don't charge for token refresh

Azure AD B2C is great and the pricing too, except for the fact, that token refreshs carried out by the application (as opposed to being carried out by the user) are charged separately. An application that keeps a logical connection to the server while in the background, might carry out quite many token refreshs over time. A regular frequency of one refresh per hour leads to ~700 refreshs per month. Assuming 1.000.000 users, this sums up to ~500.000$/month. This exceeds the capacity of start-ups like ours by a factor of 1000 (!). Although AD B2C would be the perfect fit for our business, this kind of pricing prevents us from using it.

Suggestion: Charge for authentications initiated by the user but don't charge for token refresh initiated by the application.
