In this latest VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we sat
down with Kendall Miller, Chief Extrovert at Axiom, to explore how
recent advances in cloud technology are revolutionizing the
observability landscape. As organizations grapple with exponentially
growing data volumes and soaring observability costs, Axiom is emerging
with an innovative approach that challenges traditional limitations.
"In today's world, people's biggest bill is their AWS
bill, their second biggest bill is their observability bill - and that
is wild," notes Miller. He explains how Axiom's ground-up architecture,
built on modern cloud computing capabilities, enables organizations to
store and analyze virtually unlimited log data at a fraction of
traditional costs.
What sets Axiom apart is their unique approach to
data storage and management. By leveraging infinitely elastic storage
through services like Amazon S3, Axiom has eliminated the need for data
sampling - a common cost-saving practice that Miller describes as an
"anti-pattern" that companies shouldn't have to follow.
The company offers three flexible delivery models:
- Traditional SaaS multi-tenant solution
- Bring-your-own-bucket option
- Virtual private Axiom with customer-managed infrastructure
For organizations running Kubernetes and cloud-native
technologies, Axiom's approach is particularly relevant. As Miller
points out, even a basic three-node Kubernetes cluster generates massive
amounts of log data, making efficient observability crucial for scaling
operations.

helping companies transform their observability strategies and extract
