You certainly could set up LMS in AWS. But S3 wouldn't be the best
choice, as it's block storage, and isn't mounted like a "normal" drive.
It might be possible somehow, but I'm not aware of a simple solution.

And then you'll have to pay for the bandwidth. Uploading to S3 is cheap
- downloading not that much.

And you'll have to come up with some VPN connection or similar to
protect your LMS.

Overall I guess it's more work and complexity than you want to take on
for LMS only.
