Everything in the platform

Unified FinOps Platform

The clouds and AI providers a customer already uses (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud; Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI) feed the SKYXOPS platform, the shift-left FinOps platform for cloud and AI, priced before it ships and tracked after, read-only with no agents. It returns cost priced before deployment, budget approvals routed to the budget owner, AI cost by token, model and GPU, cloud spend attributed to a team, savings ranked by value, and showback by team and product.

Across all four

One capability that spans the pillars rather than sitting inside one.

Budget Management

Nested budgets from organisation down to service, with headroom that updates as approvals happen, so an approver sees what a change leaves behind before granting it.

The workflow

How the budget gets enforced.

Enforcement happens where the decision is made: on the change itself, before anything is provisioned.

PricedEvery resource costed against a live cloud catalog.

DecidedAllow, route to the owner, or block. All logged.

Your pipeline acts on the decision: hard-block or warn-and-proceed, whichever you configure.

The difference

Why not just a cost estimator?

Most cost tools estimate and report. SKYXOPS enforces and governs.

A cost estimator

  • Shows cost in your CI pipeline
  • A point-in-time estimate, nothing after
  • Leaves the engineer to decide what happens next
  • No authority to stop a deployment
  • No approval routing, no audit trail

SKYXOPS: enforce and govern

  • Shows cost in your CI pipeline and decides against the budget policy
  • Live pricing across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
  • Routes to the right approver based on the budget it touches
  • Returns a block decision on breach, so your pipeline can stop the deploy, and overrides leave an audit trail
  • Covers the full FinOps lifecycle, not just CI/CD
Essentials

Fits every environment.

Deployment model

SaaS (hosted by SKYXOPS) or self-hosted in your environment. Same platform, same capabilities.

Data residency

SKYXOPS analyzes your cost and usage data plus infrastructure metadata (via a read-only role) to produce recommendations; workload content, databases, storage and business records never leave your cloud. Access is read-only and revocable, and every key is stored encrypted.

FAQ

Product-specific questions.

Cost Guardrails sends a block signal to your CI/CD pipeline when a change would breach budget policy. Your pipeline acts on it. You decide whether to stop the change, let it through with a warning, or ask for a named sign-off. This is intentional: SKYXOPS decides against the policy, your pipeline stays authoritative over what actually happens.

No. SKYXOPS stays read-only on your infrastructure. Recommendations are proposed through your normal change-management flow.

Self-hosted deployments keep everything in your environment. In SaaS mode, SKYXOPS ingests your cost and usage data and infrastructure metadata (resource types, sizes, configurations) to produce analysis and recommendations. Workload content, databases, storage and business records never leave your cloud. Access is read-only and revocable, and every key is stored encrypted.

Daily. Cost telemetry across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud is aggregated and surfaced in dashboards once per day. Spend-change alerts run on the same cadence.

Cost Guardrails has a public REST API and a CLI.
