Connect to aws storage gateway with s3 backing from a different cloud vps (say digitalocean)

Question

My goal is to have a s3 backed storage gateway available as a disk on a digitalocean droplet. By watching the video's about storage gateway (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaCfOatTIDA&t=136s) it seems like it is possible

But I am quite confused by the options available when I go about configuring aws storage gateway. I dont understand which of these options I should choose

Is there any guide available on how to make aws cloud storage available for a VPS on a different cloud provider?

My digitalocean droplet is an Ubuntu 20.04 if that matters

Answer 1

Usually you would use fuse to "mount" S3 in your linux OS. Most notably, this can be easily done using s3fs:

s3fs allows Linux and macOS to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE. s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.
