What’s new – January 2026

The January 2026 release includes:

Skytap Cloud has become Kyndryl Cloud Uplift

Beginning in 2026, Skytap has become Kyndryl Cloud Uplift. Kyndryl acquired Skytap in 2024 and integrated its capabilities under the Cloud Uplift brand. You’ll continue to use the same platform and features that are now backed by Kyndryl expertise.

With Kyndryl Cloud Uplift, you can enhance traditional applications to extract more value from your data with Azure services—including Azure Synapse, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) and Azure SQL—and more easily integrate traditional and Azure native applications.
