Anyone managing Azure budgets? Would love to hear how you're doing it
Hi everyone - I’m a founder working on a tool to help engineering and infra teams plan and monitor Azure cloud costs more effectively (especially when it comes to budgeting and forecasting). I’m not selling anything - just trying to understand how teams currently handle: Planning Azure spend across teams or projects Staying within budget or tracking drift over time Forecasting costs based on changing usage If you're involved in this (or have strong opinions about what Azure does well/poorly here), I’d love to hear your thoughts. Even a few sentences would be super helpful. You can DM me here or just drop a quick comment. Happy to share what I’ve learned from others too. Thanks!

Activate text entry box not accepting text
I have been experiencing this issue for a few weeks now and assumed it was just me. But I asked several co-workers and they are all experiencing the same issue. When attempting to active a PIM role in Azure, the text entry box for adding the reason you're activating the role will flash and change the outline to blue, indicating it is now ready to accept text entry. However, it will not allow typing in text. If you click inside the box several times, you might be offered the option to auto-fill a previously used entry (but not always). In order to actually type in the reason, I have to first click on "Roles" in the activation window, then click "Activate" again to get back to the text box. It will then accept text entry and allow completion of role assignment. It's not a huge problem, but it adds steps and time to role assignment, which isn't ideal since roles are usually being grabbed to take care of an apparent emergency. (I have a great short video showing exactly what I'm talking about, but the media insertion option would not allow adding it here.)
Azure Support Case Feedback
Hello, Just posting this thing here after couple email exchanges with the Azure Support Team. So basically 2 issues I encountered via Azure Support (on Azure Portal) is like after getting an initial reply from the support team, I couldn't make any follow-up reply (i.e., unable to re-open the ticket). The second issue is the ticket blocks my access. According to the Azure Support Team, they indicated that the issue is transferred internally to another team under Microsoft so it's technically not part of Azure Support anymore and basically a limitation is that if the ticket is transferred to another team, the ticket could cause the issues mentioned above. Hence, I would like to provide this as feedback and potentially seek to submit this as a feature request to lift this limitation. Thanks
Resoure Graph Explorer
I’m looking to retrieve a list of Azure resources that were created within the last 24 hours. However, it appears that Azure does not consistently expose the timeCreated property across all resource types, which makes direct filtering challenging. Request for Clarification/Support: Could you please confirm if there’s a reliable way to filter resources based on their creation time — for example, resources created in the last N days or within the last 6 hours? If timeCreated is not uniformly available, what’s the recommended approach (e.g., using Resource Graph, Activity Logs, or any other reliable method) to achieve this?
Comparision on Azure Cloud Sync and Traditional Entra connect Sync.
Introduction In the evolving landscape of identity management, organizations face a critical decision when integrating their on-premises Active Directory (AD) with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Two primary tools are available for this synchronization: Traditional Entra Connect Sync (formerly Azure AD Connect) Azure Cloud Sync While both serve the same fundamental purpose, bridging on-prem AD with cloud identity, they differ significantly in architecture, capabilities, and ideal use cases. Architecture & Setup Entra Connect Sync is a heavyweight solution. It installs a full synchronization engine on a Windows Server, often backed by SQL Server. This setup gives administrators deep control over sync rules, attribute flows, and filtering. Azure Cloud Sync, on the other hand, is lightweight. It uses a cloud-managed agent installed on-premises, removing the need for SQL Server or complex infrastructure. The agent communicates with Microsoft Entra ID, and most configurations are handled in the cloud portal. For organizations with complex hybrid setups (e.g., Exchange hybrid, device management), is Cloud Sync too limited?Drive digital transformation of your business with Microsoft Azure
Technology has been transforming business ever since the invention of the wheel. But in recent years, the business landscape has changed fundamentally due to the unique convergence of three things: Increasing volumes of data, particularly driven by the digitization of “things” and advances in data analytics used to draw actionable insight from that data The rise of cloud computing, which places limitless computing and storage power into the hands of organizations of all sizes, increasing the pace of innovation and competition The explosion and ubiquity of mobile computing The convergence of these factors has shifted both what customers expect, because of access to unprecedented amounts of information, and what companies must deliver to meet those expectations.

We are currently using Azure Pipelines for our deployment process and Azure Boards to track issues and tickets. However, our company recently decided to move the ticketing system to JIRA, and I have been tasked with integrating JIRA with Azure DevOps. If you have done something similar, I will appreciate any guidance, best practices, or things to watch out for.
