Add support for AWS S3 storage as the back end file system instead of requiring a Clustered File System/NAS Share

AWS EFS does not provide adequate performance or HA to be used as the back end file system for file storage, and EBS can not be clustered across multiple nodes. Native support for S3 object storage would enable us to take advantage of the upcoming "cloud-friendly" options in SI 6.x

What is your industry? Financial Markets
How will this idea be used?

Will allow us to migrate our on-premise infrastructure to AWS.
