Skytap (now delivered as Kyndryl Cloud Uplift) is a cloud service for running IBM Power (AIX, IBM i) and x86 workloads natively in Microsoft Azure, enabling enterprises to lift-and-shift traditional data-center applications into self-service, on-demand virtual environments without re-architecting them. The Skytap Cloud REST API (v1 and v2, hosted at cloud.skytap.com, HTTP Basic auth with an API token) programmatically manages environments (configurations), virtual machines, networks, templates, users, projects, assets, public IPs, schedules, usage reports and webhooks. It is the engine behind Skytap's official Terraform provider, Go SDK, PowerShell module, and Ansible and Vagrant integrations. Skytap is a portfolio company of Insight Partners.
