Do you have an idea or suggestion based on your experience with Azure?
virtualize intel vt-x/ept or amd-v/rvi to allow HAXM
I would like Windows VM's to support nested virtual machines, so that I can use HAXM for Android VM for the purpose of using a Windows VM for mobile development.
Enable users to download Virtual Machine Overview page
Allow users to download Virtual Machine Overview page as excel table.
Return vm information when querying with only vmid
If I only have the vmId, I'd like to be able to query ARM only with that to get the VM data instead of needing the RG and VM Name too.
When Resize VM, VM will reboot, it is very inconvenient. Hope this will change in the future

Virtual machine console access
There is no VMConnect capability for console access to the VM as there is with Hyper-V. So in the situation where I lost connectivity, by misconfiguration, or system failure, is there only one very time and bandwith consuming way to fix it - download the VHDs on-premise, boot it in Hyper-V and VMConnect to repair VM, then upload all GBs back to the Azure... I requesting console access, also with ability to mount some image for repair and boot from it (as we do it in standard environment).

VM Created from custom image should be able to select storage account for VHD
When we try to create a virtual machine from a custom image the VHD's for the new virtual machine are created in the same storage account as the custom image. This is not ideal because most customers have different environments in different subscriptions so they are forced to copy the image into storage account in each subscriptions. It is not easy to copy the images between the storage accounts either.

Add the ability to rename a VM. The VM name is what appears in Azure, not the DNS name. Changing a VM's name should not affect the VM in any way. If you need a unique identifier for a VM that does not change, I suggest using a GUID rather than the VM's name in Azure.

Live migrate the VMs during maintenance/hardware failures
Right now Azure VM customers experience very frequent restarts that impact the availability of services. As far as I know, these restarts are mostly caused by either host upgrades or hardware failures. Developing a HA setup is pretty straightforward for some scenarios (web servers), complex (database back-ends, notably MySQL) or extremely difficult (back-end applications used by our accounting department, for instance, which were designed to be run on one machine). Of course, HA setups are necessary for any major applications, but most of the setups we see have lots of single-instance roles (and for good reason most of the times). Currently, if you don't have an HA setup, machines are restarted about once per month or even more frequent (some as often as weekly). If this restart occurs during business hours, then this means downtime. Furthermore, for services like MySQL or SQL Server, this also means that the entire buffer pool is emptied and the performance of the application is degraded until the buffer pool fills up again. What we would love to have is something like Google Cloud's Live Migration - the VM would be moved to another host in case of hardware failures or host upgrades without restarts or downtime.
Impossible to filter the Azure REST API SKU information
When query the Azure REST API to retrieve SKU information with the following URL https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{SubscriptionId}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/skus?api-version=2017-09-01 This query currently return around of 574000 lines and 6,18 Mb. This API query can't be used as a dataSourceBinding in a DevOps task definition, because a response size limitation exists.
Support for Teams & SFB on Windows Virtual Desktop
With the release of Windows Virtual desktops on Azure, the multisession W10 offering does not support either of the Collaboration Tools, SFB or Teams. The support of these office apps with pass through support for peripherals is vital to make this offering viable. Please can this be looked at and delivered when the service goes public on Azure https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/set-up-customize-master-image
Windows Virtual Desktop - User Assigned Personnel Desktop
In WVD enable the feature to assign a user to a personnel Session Host in PowerShell and the WVD Web UX This will allow users to pre-assign users to their own VDI host in Azure that can be pre-staged with the apps that user will need, giving more flexibility to the WVD Service.
Virtual Machine Console Access Part Deux
The previous post suggesting the addition of basic VM functionality was inappropriately marked "completed" serial console was added. The serial console is better than nothing, but just barely, and was not at all what was being requested by that post. What we need is a equivalent of the VMware Remote Console.
