AWS charges money based on two different factors: space and time. We’ll see how these two factors relate to each other, and how to they compare to the price of buying and running your own computer.
New Terms:
- Space — Used in computer science to refer to the capacity or capability of a computer. A large hard drive has a lot of space. A computer that has a fast processor or fast network also has a lot of space.
- Time — Used in computer science to refer to the total time required to accomplish a task. Time can be split among many workers that accomplish the task simultaneously, but the total time required won’t be reduced.

we need to talk about two related
concepts, space and time.
0:00
Space is a measure of capacity or
capability.
0:02
For example, a computer with a large hard
drive is capable of holding a lot of
0:05
information, so
we say it has a lot of space.
0:09
But storage capacity isn't the only
kind of capacity there is.
0:12
What about processor capacity?
0:15
A computer with a fast processor
is capable of processing a lot of
0:18
information.
0:21
So we also say it has a lot of space,
even if it has a small hard drive.
0:22
There's also network capacity,
0:27
which is how fast the computer is
able to talk to other computers.
