Auditing of Co administrator addition to Subscriptions
Today there is no way to understand who was added to a subscription and who added them basically the audit trail is missing , it is a support call when this should be self service information . This is question being asked over and over again by audits like FISMA, ISO etc.

Spending Limit or Maximum Cost CAP for Azure
As a customer, I really care about Spending Limit or Spending CAP feature of Azure.
How does Azure prevent some evil attack to my Azure sites causing charge a large billing of Credit Card?
For example, it should automatically shut off or temporary disable my site when a certain dollar amount has been reached.
Is this feature in the RoadMap of Azure?
Or is there anyway to control my maximum Spending Limit of Azure?
Thanks.

Add protection against deleting a production deployment
When you're running a mission critical service in Azure as one or more cloud services, deleting the production deployments my mistake can become catastrophic.
Not only because the service is suddenly out, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because you lose your public IP address. In many cases (ours included) losing the VIP reservation means weeks of downtime because we integrate with lots of banks and insurance companies many of which have a rigorous and time-consuming process for opening up their firewalls for incoming and outgoing calls to the new VIP.
As long as you either always deploy to staging…

Imote Desktop for Windows Azure
'Imote Desktop for Windows Azure' is RemoteDesktop for Windows Azrure with client Agent Service.
"Imote" is Japanese that becomes a meaning of "Younger sister" in English. It is called "Imote" to be friendly, lovely, to want to use in Japan, and to become it. This service arranges the agent who mounts UX as friendly as the younger sister on the client, and comes to be able to manage Windows Azure by NUI of the conversation and the gesture, etc.

Provide hosted StreamInsight
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.

Webpage to Image Capture Service
Currently AzureWebsites does not allow you to spin off processes and so the WebBrowser() class is unavialble. It would be brilliant if Azure offered a cheap or free WebPage to Image capture service that could be easily accessable from AzureWebsites. This would offer many uses like Thumbnail generation and dynamic image watermarking.
This would address the need for installation and use of these services IECapt, CutyCapt, html2image, websnapr, snapcasa, shrinktheweb, etc.

Allow an external endpoint for a dedicated cache role
This would allow multiple deployments to share one dedicated cache role. It also needs to use the Azure shared cache assemblies to do this as currently to change which flavour of caching to use (PaaS versus dedicated roles requires different nu-get packages)

Replace unhealthy and constantly cycling nodes in deployments
Recently I have seen the situation several times where I will have several instances assigned to a deployment that just sit and cycle continuously. Waiting for status, starting, waiting, reboot, continue. This prevents VIP swaps to that deployment. I have also had at least one case where I had an unhealthy node and a pair of cycling instances prevent my role from finishing a scaling operation because those instances weren't stabilizing (support had to get involved).
When an instance is unhealthy or cycling for longer than N minutes, it should be moved off the deployment (and into a holding area…

Azure XS Instance Upgrade to 20Mbits Outbound WAN from 5Mbit
Azure XS Instance Upgrade to 20Mbits Outbound WAN from 5Mbit.

Fix DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener to use Filter (TraceListener.Filter)
TraceListener base class provides support for TraceFilter and (if configured) uses filter's method ShouldTrace(). This provides flexibility and standard pattern for tracing.
DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener does not follow this pattern and ignores Filter at all.
It is now not possible to restrict the severity level in trace logs. Although it is possible to set filter on ScheduledTransfer to Azure table, it is not usable in combination with application's trace logs. (E.g. when Information level is required from application's TraceSource and only Warning level from standard Trace.)

Shared components must be controlled using RBAC
The shared components such as Service Bus, Access Control Service, and Virtual Networks must be controllable at the account owner instead of all co-administrator.
Currently Management Portal provides only co-administrator can manage all the components in all levels. This provides role based access control issue for enterprise customers. When there are multiple applications hosted on a single subscription and given access to multiple project owners, the shared components needs to be controlled by a single person (consider as account owner).
The Role Based Access Control on Management Portal is very important for enterprise customers. For normal subscriptions, the current portal…6 votes -
Better Integration with o365 SharePoint Online (ADFS/Claims Based Auth)
Azure SSRS SharePoint Online List connection type (Not available yet)
Seamless hosting of Azure SSRS Reports inside SharePoint Online webpart Pages.
SharePoint List Connector sync service that enables easy migration and syncronization of common data sources (odbc, ole, sql, XML, RSS) with SharePoint List data - Online and On Premesis.

Allow local cache on very small cloud instances

Replace "Clock Hour" Billing to Actual Usage
Even though it's in the fine print, most people don't realize Azure bills in FULL Clock Hours, not actual usage.
Quoting the Pricing Page:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/details/---------------
For example, if you deploy a small Cloud Services instance at 10:50 AM and delete the deployment at 11:10 AM, you will be billed for two small Cloud Services hours, one hour for usage during 10:50 AM to 11:00 AM and another hour for usage during 11:00 AM to 11:10 AM.
---------------
I think the above example should add 20 minutes of Small Cloud Service to my bill, add them all up at the…

Allow changes to friendly names of Add-ons and such after initial creation.
I just added an add-on. However, I chose the wrong name for the add-on. Now, there is no way (that I have found) to go in and change the name that this shows up as, which is frustrating. I don't want to delete the add-on as the setup process took some time.
