Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
The Amazon AWS service for this is called EBS, Elastic Block Storage and you can only mount EBS volumes on an AWS EBS instance. You cannot "mount" S3, or at least you should not (but some have tried via some strange configuration, but S3 is not reliable.)

No, S3 is not a reliable, mountable filesystem.

EBS is the mountable AWS service, and that is only mountable by an EC2 instance:

Quote:
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes are off-instance storage that persists independently from the life of an instance. Amazon Elastic Block Store provides highly available, highly reliable storage volumes that can be attached to a running Amazon EC2 instance and exposed as a device within the instance. Amazon EBS is particularly suited for applications that require a database, file system, or access to raw block level storage.
As far as S3 is concerned:

Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Quote:
Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
