Is it possible to mount an Amazon S3 virtual directory on the machine that handles an Sql Server 2012 database for the purpose of mapping that virtual directory into a filetable in Sql server? What I'm hoping is to take advantage of S3 but use the ease of the filestream capabilities of sql server 2012 to manage user uploaded files.
I got the idea as a derivative of this site http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/1645639 where I saw that you could mount an S3 directory in windows. However, my intention is to not backup my sql server database in such a mounted folder, but to reference that folder in a filestream table and be able to have files that are saved in this table be referenced in amazon's cdn later.
