Drop ClearDB and develop a native Azure MySQL compatible database with scalability options similar to Google and Amazon.

Let's Encrypt offers low cost certificate authority services. They would be a great resource to integrate with for use in Azure Web Apps among other Azure services.

Buying, managing and configuring Certificates is a hassle. It would be great if you could cut a Certificate from the Azure Certificate service directly.
Optionally have it adjust your configuration to make the proper changes for it's use.

An emailing service (like Amazon Simple Email Service, https://aws.amazon.com/en/ses/) would be nice.

The Third-Party options available (like SendGrid) while excellent as services, can be overkill (and pricey) if you just want to send simple HTML mails related to some trigger or user event.

If not all applications, most applications need some sort of credit card processing for payments. Since credit card information is sensitive, it will be nice to have a out of the box solution available in Azure (people implicitly trust Microsoft) so that people can use it in their applications (azure websites or otherwise).

It should be possible to pin a custom app insights chart to the home page. Or at least customize the app insights blade for a site with a set of custom charts.

Currently, MySQL service is provided by ClearDB which means that Azure credits can't be used against it, the database is not visible in the current management portal (only in the preview one) etc.

MySQL is a popular database and I think it would make perfect sense to support it natively, as a "proper" Azure service.

When monitoring an application that uses NT Auth 401 request failures are expected because it is part of the authentication process. But it makes it really hard to find real failed requests because their are so many 401 failures in the failed request section.

Currently my time range selection is not persisted, even within the same resource or resource group. Once clicking back from a detail blade the time range reverts back to 24 hours. This greatly impedes troubleshooting in an alerting scenario. May be a bug but necessary to have for production troubleshooting.

Hi - I need to configure CORS on our storage accounts, but I can't find a way to do that using the Portal. I also downloaded the Python SDK, but it doesn't seem to be supported there yet (where is detailed documentation on this SDK? I can't find the right link to it from http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/ and ended up just searching the python code itself).

Also the "related ideas" on the left here don't draw right in Chrome. I can only read the last few words of each.

I would like to be able to rely on Azure to run very short but highly parallel jobs that might, say, consume 1000 CPUs for 30 seconds each. Startup costs make this prohibitive.

Consider how useful this would be for the problem of doing a custom semantic web search, or searching through a large configuration space of some simply defined problem for the configuration which yields the highest utility.

I have installed the browser script but I want to block certain items it sends to the app insights like the pagename. Can this be done? (for security reason not everything can be sent)

Reverse Image Search like Google Image Search or Tineye.com. Also, provide an API.

Please add a way for non administrators to be able to view application insights data. Currently it appears that you have to be an Azure admin to see this information.

It should be possible to restrict access to Azure Key Vaults based on a whitelist of IP addresses to further increase security. We only want to have access to the Key Vaults from within Azure and from our company IP address.

All other requests should be blocked and logged.

I hear about "Project Austin" every now and then (it was announced 2 years ago [1]) and the IoT is exploding and I'd love to start implementing stuff with StreamInsight, like the things shown at the MSDN article [2], but without an Azure-hosted server, it's going to be tough.

Please add a dns service to Microsoft Azure. Because it's a very essential part of any public cloud (in my opinion). And a lack of is it pretty much the only reason to keep me using azure (I'm currently using AWS)!

Would be nice to use Key Vault's HSM to store CA private keys for ADCS running in an Azure VM.
