You could try s3fs: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse

If the archive is very large, you might not want to pay for egress, so you could consider running FITS on an EC2 instance.

    Hi all,

    I've recently become caretaker for a large audio archive, both physical and
    digital. I'm planning a large-scale digitization project for the physicals
    that haven't been digitized yet, but the digital collection consists of
    both born-digital material and files that have been digitized from the
    physical collection at various points over the last 25 years.

    I've been requested to re-digitize files that don't meet modern standards,
    so I need to run FITS over the entire digital archive. The hang-up is that
    the archive lives in an Amazon S3 bucket which is the backend of the system
    we use to serve files to clients. I can't figure out how to point FITS at
    the bucket, since it's not mounted to my local system, and I can't format
    the path properly. Has anyone else tried this?

    Thanks,
    Chris
