On the "Cost Effective Sizing Recommendations" report I need to see the name of the VM and not just the type and Subscription

For Azure sponsored organizations, Add "resource instance id" as exportable field for .CSV download file.
For organizations with Azure sponsorships, standard features such as "Cost Management" are disabled.
Additionally, Cloudyn is not an viable option for Azure sponsored organizations.This provides challenges for gaining insights, managing Azure resources and estimating projected costs, etc.
Although, subscribers can navigate to sponsorhip portal https://www.microsoftazuresponsorships.com/ this has
limited functionality. It includes a basic dashboard as a simplified report but it lacks ability to query or drill down
as a read-only report. Thus, you are forced to download a .csv file and manipulate externally in Excel or
via database programming. One specific issue is there is a unique identifier for…25 votesWe will add support for sponsored subscriptions. Please vote this up to let us know how important it is for you.
Please separate other asks into new suggestions so we can track them individually. We’ll use this suggestion for tracking sponsored support. Thanks!

Oracle Cloud Integration
Thanks to Azure and Oracle Cloud Interconnect, we need to monitor, from Azure Portal, the resources deployed on Oracle Cloud

Cost optimizations
We are primarily focussed on Azure Paas services. Currently Azure advisor recommendations only points us to iaas recommendations such as downsizing VMs. Does Azure got features to report these optimizations for Paas resources ? Such as optimizing CosmosDb based on RU usage or Downgrading the pricing-tiers for various services based on usage , or downsizing the capacities for Datawarehouse instances ?

Provide same cost analysis functionality to Azure sponsored subscriptions as regular subs
Just started using our sponsored azure subscription to make use of our usage allowance (from Gold Cloud Platform Partner competency).
The usage data and web UI is VERY PRIMITIVE.
For a sponsored subscription, the standard cost analysis tools are unavailable.This is obviously a huge pain, and very tough to forecast and plan resource usage and costs.

Build a connector to pass cost data to log analytics
It would be nice if we could have a built in connector to pass the cost data into log analytics so we can come up with our own reports/dashboards/alerts in Log Analytics.

To add App Services to Cloudyn or Azure Cost Management.
That would be good to have App Services added to Cloudyn or Azure Cost Management.
For example, with VMs we can have reports about how much of the reasources are been consumed and based on that, cloudyn suggests us to either add more resources or remove resources to save money.
I couldn't find such a thing for App Services.3 votesMakes sense! Let us know which specific recommendations you’d like to see and vote this up to let us know how important it is for you.

Filter by TAG in Cost-Effective Sizing Recommendations
The Cost-Effective Sizing Recommendations page doesn't allow filters by TAG, for test environments that live in AWS there can be multiple test deployments in the same account. If you cannot filter by tag then you cannot see the recommendations for a specific environment.

Filters should provide ease of exclusion as well.
Filters should provide ease of exclusion as well. Currently its easy to do an inclusion analysis with the cost-management portal, but there should be an easy way of excluding a said entity.
Ex: if we need to just find the cost of all regions except eastus, today we will have to select all regions. Instead, if it were possible to exclude eastus, it would be so much easier.1 vote -
Cost Management Advisor recommendation to Scale Down to Free Tier
Cost Management Advisor does not give recommendations to Scale Down App Services to the Free Tier if they are hardly used.
I had a very frustrating experience as a developer, where I am testing the Automated Azure Machine Learning and QnAMaker which creates an App Service. The defaults are S1. I tried this once and left it. The costs were accruing on a daily basis and my Visual Studio Subscription became suspended within a few days. At no point did the Cost Management Advisor give any recommendations at all to reduce costs and it was a colleague that told me…
