The first rule of cloud computing economics is that cost is function of time and space.

If you want to finish your transformation task as quickly as you can (time), it costs a lot.

If you want to handle a large amount of data (space), it also costs a lot.

Finding a sweet spot solution, one that is reasonably fast yet doesn't use much space, is the art of cloud computing. Amazon and other cloud vendors are smart enough to set the prices for computing and storage resources that try to maximize profit out of your data orchestration need.
