Skytap

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.

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Skytap

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Skytap. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
