Overview
Most AI initiatives stall before they start. Security teams block progress because no one has shown where the data goes or under what controls. Finance withholds budget because no one can forecast what AI workloads will actually cost. Both objections are solvable before you build anything.
What SKYXOPS AI-Ready Data and Database Services Does
SKYXOPS helps teams whose data and databases are not yet ready for AI. We deliver a secure data and database service, a cost model per use case, and a first production workload - all in your own AWS environment.
What We Deliver
- Secure data and database service - Your data stays in your environment with access and residency controls that get security to yes.
- Database readiness assessment - Inventory and prepare your databases (Amazon RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB on EC2) as the primary source for production AI workloads.
- Cost model per use case - Cost per inference, per customer, per feature. Unit economics a board meeting accepts, not a percentage saved.
- Use-case shortlist that clears review - Identify which AI use cases you can actually build given your data and database constraints, and what each will cost to run.
- First production workload - Live on the reference architecture from day one, leveraging AWS services including Amazon Bedrock.
How It Works
- Scoping call with a senior engineer to inventory data, databases, access, residency, and security requirements.
- Use-case shortlist with cost models tailored to your constraints.
- Secure data and database service built and delivered on your infrastructure.
- First production workload goes live in your own environment.
Prerequisites and Scope
- You must have an active AWS account where the engagement will be delivered.
- Supported databases include Amazon RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB on EC2.
- SKYXOPS operates with read-only access only - no application data, customer data, or production data leaves your environment.
- Access is revocable at any time and terminates at the end of the engagement.
- Engagements are scoped during the initial call; out-of-scope items are documented and can be addressed in follow-on work.
Example Scenario
A team running transactional workloads on Amazon Aurora and DynamoDB wants to add AI-driven inference (such as fraud scoring or demand forecasting) but cannot get past security review or forecast per-inference costs. SKYXOPS conducts the database readiness assessment, builds the secure data service in the team's own accounts, delivers a unit cost model showing cost per inference at projected scale, and ships the first production workload on the reference architecture.
Why Teams Choose SKYXOPS
- Named senior engineers - the people in the review are the people who do the work.
- Delivered on the SKYXOPS Shift-Left FinOps Platform in your own accounts.
- Read-only access only - no data leaves your environment.
- AWS Marketplace procurement - available via private offers and milestone billing.
Eligible engagements may qualify for AWS funding programs including the Migration Acceleration Program, which now covers generative AI and modernization work.
Highlights
- Secure data and database service: Your data never leaves your AWS environment. SKYXOPS operates with read-only access only, with access and residency controls designed to satisfy security review requirements. Supported databases include Amazon RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB on EC2. Access is revocable at any time and terminates at the end of the engagement.
- Database readiness for AI: Inventory, assess, and prepare your databases as the primary data source for production AI workloads. The assessment covers data sourcing, formatting for AI requirements, and fit-gap analysis against your desired future state - delivered by named senior engineers who scope and build the solution directly.
- Unit-level cost models per use case: Cost per inference, per customer, per feature - economics your finance team can forecast and approve. Includes a prioritized use-case shortlist with estimated timelines and budgetary estimates, so stakeholders see exactly what each AI workload will cost to run at scale before committing.
