Provide installable Azure Stack platform with GA and not only through CPS
After the announcement (link at the end of the page), it seems that Azure Stack will be provided only through CPS after GA, and that we will not be able to deploy it on existing hardware. This is really disappointing for customers (the majority) aiming to use the existing hardware to bring Azure services.
We want to be able to deploy it on existing hardware277 votes -
Generation 2 VM support
We know that Azure Stack is consistent with Azure and does not support Generation 2 VMs. Only Generation 1 VMs.
Maybe you can something implement like an option / a switch we have today for VM roles in VMM & WAP.

Bring Service Bus (SBaaS) to Azure Stack
Service Bus is a common component in many applications and integrations. Widely used in my organisation.

Where is SMA in Microsoft Azure Stack?
The Azure Consistent Service Delivery session of Microsoft Ignite 2015 (https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK2484) details an overview of the Resource Providers that will probably be part of Microsoft Azure Stack. I'm missing SMA in that list. Will there be a version of SMA in Microsoft Azure Stack, that has a tenant experience consistent with Azure Automation in Microsoft Azure?

Bring SQL Databases (MS SQL Database as a Service) to Azure Stack
When is comes to app development on PaaS platforms, Databases and DBaaS are "core" & "can't-live-without".
I see them already included in first release ;)

Ability of complete Offline Installation of Microsoft Azure Stack TP / PoC
Enterprises with special security requirements, often do not have a direct link to azure.com, which is currently needed in terms of Azure Active Directory in Microsoft Azure Stack TP1 PoC.
Therefore a third Setup method beside AAD and AADChina, namely an integration into an on premise AD would be required.
It is clear, that the whole automation and provisioning process of MAS has to be coordinated with all its components.
But this also could be achieved by provisioning one additional virtual machine via the MAS-PoC-Powershell-Installer, which is a Domain Controller.120 votes -
Backup as a service for Azure Stack (a.k.a Backup resource provider)
We waited for a backup plugin for Windows Azure Pack, which never came. As a hosting service provider and a large enterprise with dfferent departments to cater, being able to provide backup as a service is key. Please bring this resource provider with GA of Azure stack please!

Bring Application Insights to Azure Stack
APM-tools are crucial in our organisation. An on-prem solution for this is important for organisations that aren't allowed to store data outside on-prem datacenter.
Would be a shame to be forced to use other on-prem software like appdynamics.

Single pane of glass. Manage Microsoft Azure subscriptions from Microsoft Azure Stack and vice versa
Since Portal and ARM are consistent across clouds it would be awesome if we can manage an Microsoft Azure subscription from Microsoft Azure Stack (preferably add to ARM like a region). And vice versa add a Microsoft Azure Stack region to Microsoft Azure (preferable as a region in ARM for that tenant).

Support SAN as a backend disk type
Azure stack currently supports only DAS for its disk infrastructure. Unfortunately, many on-prem datacenters use SAN for disk and blade servers that can't be reused as we start to utilize Azure Stack.
The ability to point at SAN would allow us to quickly build up azure stack infrastructure.

Redis Cache for Azure Stack
Redis Cache is important part of every scalable SaaS aplication.

VHDX support
We know that Azure Stack is consistent with Azure and does not support the VHDX format. Only VHD is supported.
Maybe you can something implement like an option / a switch we have today for differencing and dynamic disks in VMM & WAP.

Desktop as a Service (DaaS) cloud service for Azure Stack
As a hosting service provider (the majority who will use Azure stack in production) and large enterprise, customers wanted the capability to provide Desktop as a service (DaaS) for Windows Azure Pack. We need this cloud service in Azure Stack for GA.

Support for Data factory and ML
Data factory and ML form a great combination to make use of the existing on prem systems and legacy data and get significant value really fast. It would be great to have these 2 tools bundled in the azure stack.

Bring Azure Resource Manager custom policies to Microsoft Azure Stack
Enterprises tend to have all kinds of policies in place related to conventions. allowedValues for parameters in an ARM JSON template can be easily worked around by using PowerShell to communicate with ARM directly instead of going through the portal. ARM custom policies in Microsoft Azure (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-manager-policy/) enforces conventions at the ARM level. Please bring the policy capability for ARM over to Microsoft Azure Stack. This is a much needed capability for Enterprises.
