How Dekra Scaled AVD to 3,500+ Users Across 60 Countries with Hydra

July 22, 2026

Dekra runs its digital workspace on Azure Virtual Desktop across more than 60 countries, but their Terraform-based deployment pipeline couldn’t keep up. Deploying a full environment meant running a pipeline that timed out after 8 to 10 hosts per run, turning a single large deployment into a half-day ordeal.

With Hydra, the team can now deploy all 40 to 50 hosts in a single run, cuts deployment time by 75%, and onboards new team members in 30 minutes instead of days of training.

A three-person IT team now manages AVD operations end-to-end for a global user base, and the savings keep growing as Dekra expands what they’re doing with the platform.

Read the full case study to see how they transformed AVD operations without retraining their team, and why the savings keep growing:
