Monitor Application Gateway Load
Provide a way to monitor Application Gateway CPU/Memory in order to track load. It's hard to know only based on current access/http errors when the WAF is under heavy preasure and we need to scale it up.

Allow running headless Chrome (or other browser) in Function apps or Web apps
Basically it's this:
https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/introducing-headless-chrome-support-in-cloud-functions-and-app-engineNow obviously Google has a bit of an advantage here what with Chrome being their own tech but there are so many blogs out there with people talking about complicated Docker solutions just to run headless Chrome in the cloud.
It would be great if we could get a solution where we could run Puppeteer in much the same way, or allow web apps to run Chrome without having to be inside Docker and we could manage a pool of Chromes without having to manage Docker as well.

Allow Static Public IP's on Virtual Network Gateways
Static Public IP's cannot be used with Virtual Network Gateways. This can potentially be very problematic if a Virtual Network Gateway ever needs to be re-created or re-provisioned.
Example: what if we have 30 separate tunnels to a Virtual Network Gateway and it needs to be re-created or re-provisioned? This would result in a new Public IP being provisioned (takes about 30-40 minutes - of downtime!) which would require 30 remote VPN Administrators to be engaged to rebuild their side of the tunnel. This could be easily resolved by allowing Static Public IP's to be associated with Virtual Network Gateways.

Feature of testing if alert mail or message would be sent correctly in Azure Monitor.
When I create an alert rule in Azure Monitor to send an email, I want to test if the email would be sent and received correctly.
Now, it doesn't seem to have this feature in Azure Monitor.
So it is better for me if there is this feature.38 votes -
Azure's status board availability
The Microsoft Azure status board should live outside Azure's ecosystem just because when there is a problem with some Azure´s service, the Microsoft Azure status page may not be available for the same issue.
37 votesThanks for the feedback. We are working on a fallback site for Azure Status for scenarios of Azure outages.

Allow VIP Swap when Staging slot is up and Running
Recently we had a problem where we had ~1h of downtime which could have been avoided if VIP swap wasn’t failing.
The problem was that 1 single VM was in a busy state in Production slot. All VMs in the staging slot were up and Running.Can you please allow a VIP swap if:
1. All VMs in Staging slot are in Running state
2. There’s the same or higher number of VMs in Staging slot compared to ProductionI know that it’s by design that VIP swap is possible only if all VMs in both Staging and Production slot…

RateCard metadata with their spec information
I want to get RateCard meter metadata with their spec information (e.g. size, memory, cores...). Because I have to provide that data to our finance department.
I can get the spec information of VMs by Get-AzureRmVMSize API, but they do not have MeterId, so can not associate with RateCard meter metadata.
And I also want to get them about SQL Database, Redis Cache, and App Service. But they do not have API which can get their spec information in the first place.
I think it is very useful if can get meter metadata with their spec information by RateCard API.36 votes -
Backend heath status of Application Gateway
We deployed the Application Gateway on the subnet where NSG's In-Bound rules is set. In the result, we got the status of backend health is 'unknown'. We got the 'Healthy' status when the NSG doesn't associate to subnet. Even if NSG's In-Bound rules is set, We'd like to confirm the backend health.

Key Vault like as RA-GRS
Currently, Key Vault have redundancy and availability, but I can not access to secondary region manually.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/key-vault-disaster-recovery-guidanceRegion fail over is automacically, however I would like to access to secondary like as RA-GRS of Azure Storage before than failover because I want to more enhance BCP of our services.
* I guess, Azure doesn't occurred region failover so far, but services failur occurred sometimes in regions.

Make Azure available in Haiti
Microsoft Azure should be available for developers and businesses in Haiti. This country lack of a power supply system you can rely on for business, so the cloud is our best options. Please consider adding Haiti in the list of supported countries while signing up for Microsoft Azure.

Make Windows Server 2016 Core available
Not every role is available in Nano. I don't need full GUI for domain controllers for example, but can't deploy on Nano.
Perhaps other roles are coming in Nano, but in the meantime make core available, as it is for Windows 2012.

Provide azure P2S VPN client for Linux
We need to have azure P2S VPN client for Linux machines, currently it is available only for windows. When managing a large set of VMs running in linux, we prefer using Linux control machine, and we currently don't have option to use P2S VPN setup in li nux. Im sure this feature will help lot of projects in linux taking advantage of Azure migratons

Allow English international user develop for Azure China a possibility
I am very excited with Microsoft's recent announcement regarding Azure China.
How can non-Chinese speaking MSDN developer use their monthly credit with Azure China?
Right now It doesn't seem to understand my regular Microsoft account login...
Isn't the whole point to allow us, to get inside mainland china?!
My whole aim is to do just that.27 votes -
Unlock the features for students.
I was excited to see Azure offered free to students via Dreamspark, but no SQL, VM, etc??? 9 out of 10 features are locked to the student license. I understand restrictions, but why does Microsoft even offer Azure to students if they aren't going to let them use it for the best Azure features.
Please drop the restrictions on student accounts. It will help Microsoft in the long run...students are not running businesses with these products while in school, but they might when they graduate.
Thanks,
Nick
