Red Baron of Azure & Entra is my job related blog. It is the result of me realizing that I share the same content with multiple customers and colleagues and trying to keep track that I update everyone.

About me –  My name is Christer Ljung and I’m an ex-Microsoft FTE  of 22.5 years. I’ve been working in R&D, MS EMEA and MS Sweden on products like Azure and Entra. Before leaving Microsoft in November 2025, I was a PM on the VerifiedID team. But my IT history dates back to 1985, so I’ve been around for some time.

I named this site redbaronofazure because I childishly like vintage aircrafts, like the red Fokker triplane that Manfred von Richthofen flew in WWI. These aircrafts stands for a big engineering breakthrough of its time. Another thing that made a big impression on me was seeing Apollo14 splash down i the Pacific Ocean live on TV Februrary 1971. It amazes me still that people built a rocket that could carry men to the moon and back with technology of the 60’s and that vehicle so was so heavily computerized.
