What is an AI control plane?
One system that governs every model, tool and agent call an organization makes: who may call what, under which policy, within which budget, routed where, inspected how and recorded where. Skyfix is that system, with the AI gateway, FinOps, observability, governance and security as one platform rather than five tools.
How is an AI control plane different from an AI gateway?
The gateway is the enforcement point in the request path. The control plane is everything that decides what the gateway enforces and proves what it did: signed policy, budgets, identity, the evidence ledger, assessments and the console. Skyfix ships both, built as one system.
Where does Skyfix run and who holds the keys?
In your own Kubernetes cluster, installed with Helm, using your PostgreSQL, cache and secrets store. Every signing key lives in your secrets store under one installation root; no vendor key is built into the images, and no request depends on Arka AI Labs infrastructure.
Which APIs and protocols does Skyfix support?
An industry-standard chat-completions API and other widely used model API formats, embeddings, rerank, moderation, image, audio, realtime and batches; the Model Context Protocol for tools with OAuth 2.1; the Agent2Agent protocol for agents over JSON-RPC, gRPC and HTTP+JSON; Agent Skills; OpenTelemetry for export; OIDC, SAML, SCIM and SPIFFE for identity.
Does Skyfix certify compliance with AI frameworks?
No. Framework assessments support evidence for frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act by linking controls to recorded evidence. They are not certifications, attestations or compliance scores.
