SKYXOPS - Shift-Left FinOps for Cloud and AI Cost

Cloud cost is decided when the change is written, not when the bill arrives.

Most cost tools report what already happened. By the time a spike appears on a dashboard, the resources are running and the money is committed. SKYXOPS moves the cost conversation to the point of decision. Cost Guardrails analyzes infrastructure-as-code in your delivery pipeline, prices the change against live rates, checks it against the owning team's budget, and posts the result as a comment on the pull request. Changes within budget flow through untouched. Changes that would breach it are routed to an approver, and every approval and exception is recorded with the requester, the amount, and the policy reference.

What the platform covers

Prevent. IaC cost projection for Terraform, CloudFormation, and Helm. Budget headroom shown before approval. Approval routing to the budget owner. Policy enforced in GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps.

Monitor. Daily cost and usage telemetry across every linked account. Anomaly detection by account, service, and tag dimension. Month-end forecasting. Alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email.

Optimize. Savings Finders ranked by annualized impact, covering idle and underutilized resources, rightsizing, storage lifecycle and orphaned volumes, Kubernetes requests versus actual usage, AI and GPU workload spend, and Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage gaps.

Govern. Tag policy checked before merge and again after deploy. Cost attribution by team, project, or cost center. Showback and chargeback reporting. Full audit trail on access and approvals.

AI and LLM cost, treated like any other line item

Token and GPU spend is attributed by model, by team, and split between training and inference, then held to the same budgets and approval rules as the rest of your infrastructure.

Built for how teams actually operate

SKYXOPS uses AI-powered insights with human-controlled decisions. The platform prices, flags, and ranks. Your team decides and acts. Access is read-only throughout, nothing is provisioned to produce cost estimates, and your data stays in your environment. Most teams are live in under 24 hours: connect a read-only IAM role, and Cost Guardrails activates on the next commit.

Pricing is a flat fee per tier, never a percentage of your bill. When SKYXOPS finds savings, your invoice does not move.

Who it is for

FinOps practitioners, platform and DevOps teams, engineering leaders, finance leaders, and public sector programs that need cost estimates, approvals, and audit trails attached to every deployment.
