Permalink for Azure status history
Currently, Azure status history ( https://azure.microsoft.com/status/history/ )doesn't have permalink. I want to have permalink per status/failuer.
Current issues:
* Status history feed hide status older than 90 days. I can't know older history.
* I can't specify a specific status in history.Why permalink?
* I should announse failuer or issue of Azure for customers when status updated (occurred and solved). In this case, I added evidence by quoting status report from Azure status history. However Azure status history doesn't have permalink and I should use quote always. That is weak as evidence. (They confuse and dificult look up issues…28 votesThanks for the feedback, we plan to implement a permalink/deeplink history feature.

Fix link forwarding where there exists only en-us version
From page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh369930.aspx
there is a link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=262845 to "Testing the Performance of an Azure Cloud Service Locally in the Compute Emulator Using the Visual Studio Profiler"
After clicking it, it forwards me to http://www.windowsazure.com/cs-cz/develop/net/common-tasks/profiling-in-visual-studio/ but it does not exists. After changing cs-cz to en-us manually, everything works.
Can you please fix link forwarding and fallback to en-us version where localized version is not available.
5 votesThank you for the feedback. We will work to correct this.

allow to report bugs, without paying for support
Found a bug in azure, trying to report this though is a nightmare. Seems I have to pay for a support package in order to report an issue with azure itself.
5 votesSorry about the poor experience, can you provide more details on the bug? While this is an area we are working on improving, at present here are the avenues to report a bug:
1.) MSDN Forums : (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/home)
We have engineers looking through the appropriate Azure Forums and getting bugs reported and fixed where applicable.2.) Feedback.azure.com : If a specific forum is available for the service you are reporting a bug on, you can also report it via this portal.

fix the wording of the msdn benefit since it suggests credits can be used for anything.
I do still find this whole scenario very confusing, and poorly phrased..
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/member-offers/msdn-benefits/
This website says that I can use the credits towards 100 websites + DB...
Its only in the fine print a few pages deep that it mentions the test/dev only thing...4 votesThank you for your feedback. We will work to update this page to provide more clarity.

Fix default firewall rule set for free tier Windows based VMs
End Chat
Whenever a Windows based Free Tier virtual machine is created, the default firewall rule set includes a rule for inbound SSH. This needs to be changed to inbound RDP. Inbound SSH should only be for Linux based VMs.

Application Gateways are a problem. They need around 20-40 minutes to update for every change.
They need around 15-40 minutes to update for every change. If we need to add any new backend in hurry it will cause problems. Also they seem unreliable while coming up. Sometime they come up and sometime they don't.
1 voteWith our new V2 (Autoscaling) SKU, the time for propagating changes has been drastically reduced to under a minute. Please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/application-gateway-autoscaling-zone-redundant for more details on this SKU. This SKU is in public preview right now but will be GA’d very soon.
