  1. Enhance Azure Cost Management Reporting

    Microsoft offers power BI content packs which show on-going Azure consumption costs. I have had an opportunity to use the PowerBI reporting on the Azure environment costs (via Azure Consumption Insights) and have some suggestions.

    a. I like the fact that PBI includes a ‘top 5 drivers’ of usage but it is at such a high level with no capability to drill through to detail that it is not as useful as it could be.

    b. The information is presented on a monthly basis, which is fine but it lacks the month-to-month variance comparison which would allow us to call…

    • Update links in Welcome email sent to Administrators on Campus Agreement renewal

      The links to activate Microsoft Imagine subscription in the Welcome email to administrators point to https://catalog.imagine.microsoft.com/institutions/enroll , however there are no links on this page to actually enrol. In order to enrol to Microsoft Imagine, the administrator must go to https://imagine.microsoft.com/en-us/institutions/Enroll.

      • Update Request: Azure VM Backup Feature

        We have assigned OWNER permission to a group. When we go to Azure VM > Backup, it starts showing to protect Azure VM. The respective Azure VM is already protected and have successful Recovery Points.
        But When we go to Recovery Vault directly, we can see correct details. Currently, we are using this as a potential workaround

        Please rectify this

        • manually add route to expressroute

          It would be great if you could manually add routes through the Azure portal for ranges that our ExpressRoute ISP doesn't know dynamically. That way we don't need to contact them to add a new subnet.

            • All Azure quotes should be exposed via API and portal. For example the number of frontend IP addresses allowed on an external load balancer

              All Azure quotes should be exposed via API and portal. For example the number of frontend IP addresses allowed on an external load balancer

              All Azure quotas should be exposed via API and portal.
              For example the number of frontend IP addresses permitted for an external load balancer is not exposed in the portal, via Powershell or even API.
              This makes it easier to anticipate when nearing a configured quota.

                • allow branding of the Azure Data Catalog UI

                  Allow customers to add branding (logo, CSS) to Azure Data Catalog; this will aid internal customers in trusting this service as a tool where data classifications are important.

                  • Delete Recovery Vault

                    I have SQL DB (LTR) associated with a Recovery Vault which is in use right now. But i have deleted all other resources except this one, but still i am not able to delete Recovery Vault. I am aware that SQL DB (LTR) is in PREVIEW mode. In case if i deleted SQL DB (LTR), it should give DELETE option but won't show at this moment. Please rectify in further deveopment

                    • I suggest you make your website easier to navigate

                      I have gotten lost confused and generally sent to pages i have no intention of going to so many times at this point that if i were not using this software at a client's request i would have simply used one of your competitors. also your tutorials and support for developers who are using the software for the first time is sub par.

                      • Add application usage report similar to classic portal

                        The application usage report does not appear to be available in the new Azure portal. You cannot click individual applications and see the application usage results like your could in the old portal. You can see the total sign-ins but not the application usage metric that would then show a list of the most frequent users and their total number sign-ins.

                          • To be able to host Bigger VMs than the VHD size or the Managed Image size

                            Consider the root partition of a VHD created is 5 GB, a user should be able to host a Vm using the VHD but with expanded root partition like 30G or 100G.

                            I know this feature exists, where we can resize VHD then login to the machine and expand the partition, but for automated launching of VMs, this method is not feasible.

                            The point is huge VHDs to be copied across regions(storage accounts) is time intensive. So launching across 15-20 regions will be really slow.

                            If Managed Image can have this feature, it will be a boost to use managed…

                                Allow me to specify the size of premium storage that I want. For example, another popular cloud provider allows me to specify an 8GB SSD. If I wanted a small SSD drive, the cheapest I can provision is a 128GB P10, which is overkill for my needs.

                                  The baseline security assessment reports a fail for Audit Policy: Policy Change: Authentication Policy as I have it set to Success/Fail. I have this as per the active directory secure best practice doc https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/plan/security-best-practices/audit-policy-recommendations whereas the analyzer is expecting success only so fails the rule.

                                  • Change ressource group of protected items with powershell (ARM)

                                    Some actions in Azure Site Recovery vaults can only be made via the azure portal.
                                    It would be easier and more productive to be able to modify the ressource group associated to a protected item (a VM, in our case) via powershell, instead of clicking again and again for each of our replicated VMs.

                                    • have usual login into azure website (e.g. azure storage), now it is just a page where you click my account and it is just badzhillion ADS

                                      simply add login button and login to azure page like everyone else does, no need to overcomplicate it, it is not that difficult, I could do it for you for free if it is too difficult for you

                                        • I suggest to give eddy cloud music player connection to my music files stored on onedrive (which is on Azure).

                                          Eddy cloud music player was always able to get access to my music files on Onedrive(Azure). Since a couple weeks no more. I would like to use Eddy and play my own music via my mobile phone when I want to. Please make ti happen again!
