    Offer alternative pricing model for ServiceBus connections

    Currently ServiceBus is billed monthly per connection, with prices that can go lower with packs, but nevertheless far too expensive for some low traffic/usage scenario.
    In my scenario the connection is between client applications and the Azure services, must be active all the time the application is working (normally 8… more

    Provide out of box support for Identity Federation using ACS.

    Provide out of box support for Identity Federation using ACS. Justin Smit already posted a sample "ACS integration with Windows Live ID & Facebook Connect" on his blog and ServerSideWebIdentities.zip is also available for download.

    Content Based Routing

    We want Content Based Routing in Azure App Fabric. How can you take it out of it? A service Bus is not complete without one. I suggest we have it for XML/JSON type messaging, and it must be durable!

    I mentioned to customer that we can host their services in… more

    Support redirection after sign out; Support WREPLY parameter needed for ADFS and Facebook

    Currently, wreply is not supported. When an ADFSv2 user signs out they get a dead end page like this:

    https://tlsadmin.accesscontrol.windows.net/v2/wsfederation?wa=wsignoutcleanup1.0&wreply=http://localhost:2600/Account/SignIn

    The wreply parameter is an industry standard and should be implemented:

    Actually start implementing ideas suggested in this suggestion board.

    Sorry to be a bit snarky here. I initially was extremely excited that Microsoft was adopting uservoice, this is a great step forward, but without showing activity in accepting ideas people may turn elsewhere. In the same time competitors such as Amazon have added considerable new features, I'm hopeful that… more

    Embrace Managed Services Engine as onsite extension to AppFabric!

    Managed Services Engine is a wonderful capability that allows MS stack to have a native SOA intermediary. What is great about it built up on WCF, it does work with the AppFabric and more importantly allows non WCF applications to be integrated to AppFabric out of the box.
    Microsoft is… more
