  1. Add CustomData in Instance Metadata Service

    Currently CustomData stored as a file in filesystem, but it would be great to get it from Instance Metadata Service.

    • Ability to migrate VMs with managed disks between subscriptions

      Ability to migrate VMs with managed disks between subscriptions

      I just spent a week building out a new IaaS based infrastructure (lots of VM's, load balancers, SQL AOAG cluster) under an ARM model and managed disks - only to find that migration of VMs with managed disks to another subscription is not yet supported.

      I hope someone from the Azure management team understands why traditional IaaS infrastructures might begin under a test/dev subscription and then (when proved out and ready to run) – might be migrated to an Enterprise subscription. If and operations team attempts to use the latest technology…

      • improve performance.

        Database access is way to slow to use this in a production environment.

        • UWP client applications need a high-level library for using Service Fabric Reliable Actors (ActorProxy support for UWP clients)

          Azure Service Fabric Reliable Actors seem like a great server-side technology for multi-user applications. Unfortunately, UWP client applications cannot use the use the ActorProxy to call methods in remote actor objects (implementing IActor interfaces) because the Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors NuGet package only supports .NET 4.5 -- not the UWP platform.

              • Named locations

                We need to have the ability of using the Named Locations in the Conditional Access Policies not Trusted Locations only.
                This will allow us to control the policies for multiple locations.

                • FTP Connector - Create Directory

                  I have a logic app that will take user uploaded blob files and pass them to an FTP server. If the target location does not exist on the FTP server the logic app fails.

                  Files are stored on the FTP based on user id/filename
                  for example 1234567890/worddoc.docx

                  It would be great if the connector either created the directory if it doesn't exist or if there was a logic app action for create directory.

                  • Ability to customize invoices for easier review

                    It would be useful to customize the format of invoices to make it easier to see usage by VM and/ or by resource group. This would make it simpler to calculate costs.

                    • notify on deployment errors or any errors that can affect me

                      Hi,

                      I had an error in my deployment.
                      deployment that work perfectly until you did some changes that messed it up. in your status it said all the resource are fine.
                      when i contacted azure support it would seem that the error came from changes ou made and affected not only me.

                      I would like to get a notification when you have errors or someplace to see them. (http://status.azure.com/ does not give information about that apparently)

                      thank you

                      • Method for organising secrets in Key Vault (folders/sections)

                        I'm using key vault as a central key/value configuration repository. I have a lot of configuration keys, so navigating the vault has become tricky.

                        It would be really great if there was some form of cosmetic layer over the top, so that similar items could be grouped, to make navigation easier.

                        • Portal settings design black is a bad choice

                          Portal settings/ design black is a bad choice, because the icon for release lease of a storage is not visible. Changing to white design helps to make it visible.

                                  We have database linux vm with multiple premium managed disks. We have software raid on top of these disks inside the Linux guest vm. We need a way to take snapshots of these multiple managed disks at the same point in time coordinated at Azure storage level so all the writes are captured at the exact same point in time across all disks.

                                    My coworker sometimes set up Azure Agent Backup, though he does not have azure portal login accont.
                                    So when he set up Azure Agent Backup, I need to download the vault credential and pass it to him every time.
                                    Because of this, my coworker cannot set up Azure Agent Backup when I cannot pass him a vault credential.
                                    So I want to download a vault credential without login to Azure portal.

                                    • Make the -whatif flag for Template Deployments report changes

                                      When running the New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment powershell command, the -whatif flag exists; however, it only reports that a deployment will be created with $name.
                                      It would be extremely convenient to run a ReadOnly deployment, which fully analyzes the template and all linked templates, and identifies every change that will be performed. By using this handy switch, unexpected production-level changes could be avoided.

                                        • Usage report clarity

                                          We recently discovered that the “Non-Windows” charges that shows up in the usage report for the Windows VM are for bootup time and currently there is no way to identify them unless a fliter is added which is time consuming. Would recommend to add a tag so it is easily idenfiable.
