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.

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…

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.81 votes -

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…74 votes -
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.

Better pricing structure for API Management
We currently use 4 instances of APIM for duplicating our environments (Dev/UAT/Pre Prod and Production)
We went with APIM as a solution for fronting some azure services and some internal services. Due to the VPN access only being available on Premium we are paying for over 32 Millions calls a day when we will barely generate a 1 Million. So we have 4 Premium APIM instances costing us £6000 a month purely for the VPN access. Forcing us to pay for a level we do not require just for a feature of the environment, it would be better if the…

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…

Harmonize the offer types (CSP/Open/EA/PAYG)
CSP is a great purchasing model for small and medium businesses, but has some serious problems.
1) Migrating between CSP and any other offer is a very laboursome and expensive project (not to mention that many resources cannot be migrated). This can cause Vendor lock-in and some other major risks for customers using CSP. Currently even PAYG to CSP is not easy.
2) CSP customers are unequal to other Azure users despite the fact that they pay the same or sometimes even more, because they do not have the same services available to them.
3) CSP resellers have to put…

users want to set up the MFA Setup Wizard later
In the MFA release plan of a large company, thousands users are impossible to actually "force" from the day.
So, the user needs a period which setting for the MFA can be skipped, before force setting period.
In the period, it provide a selection such as "set up later" in the MFA setting wizard at the initial sign-in.
if someone did not have a mobile device on that day,
if someone wants to ask questions about MFA, etc...
they can not access any Office 365.
becouse, even if you set a policy to skip MFA on the LAN, the MFA…30 votes -
Prevent the 'failed' state when VMSS autoscaled to subnet namespace size
VMSS easily turn 'failed' status with following step and cannot recover without delete and re-create the VMSS.
Repro step is:
1. Create Vnet and subnets. The address space of subnet for VMSS is /27 (for example)
2. Create AppGW(Small/1instance, no publicIP) in Vnet
3. Create VMSS under AppGW
... set the Autoscale rule as Min/Max/default : 2/25/2
... In my case, I created Standard_DS1_v2 size VMSS
4. change Autoscale parameter to 16/25/16
5. change Autoscale parameter to 25/25/25
=>reproduceswant to prevent the state. thanks,

Support for BYOL on pre-built VM Images
When I want to create a SQL Server VM in Azure and use a license I already own (Bring Your Own License) I am unable to use an existing VM Image in Azure as these are pre-licensed. It would be good if I could use an existing VM image and supply just my license key.

SEPA Direct Debit is the standard way to pay for regular subscriptions for European companies and citizens.
SEPA Direct Debit is a Europe-wide Direct Debit system that allows merchants to collect Euro-denominated payments from accounts in the 34 SEPA countries and associated territories.

Please open a French Azure Datacenter
France has many laws regarding datas security, and in some sector like healthcare, it's impossible to host stuff outside of France.
I'd be a very good news for us that Microsoft could open a datacenter in France :)
