Edgar Magana, Senior Principal Software Development Engineer at Workday, and OpenStack User Committee representative, and members of the Enterprise Working Group have developed a [ case study ]( https://www.openstack.org/assets/user-stories/OpenStack-WorkdayCaseStudy.pdf ) detailing the leading SaaS application provider's OpenStack environment.
 
Summary
At the end of 2016, Workday had over 650 servers running OpenStack with more than 50,000 cores of total capacity, creating over 1000 instances daily. The case study describes Workday’s phased migration in every datacenter, high availability architecture, CI/CD workflow, current applications, future plans, and value to the company. Benefits are clear in the areas of 
deployment system consolidation,
CI/CD,
application onboarding,
cost savings,
vast improvement in ratio of nodes operator,
automated patch deployment, 
increased physical server efficiency and more.
 
Thank you to Edgar and the EWG for this case study, which both current and prospective OpenStack users and contributors will find valuable. If your company, or your customers' companies, would like to be featured in a case study, please contact Allison Price, allison at openstack.org.
