You can store any raster/vector file format supported by GDAL on S3 and
use it via MapServer. Note the /vsis3 virtual connection:
Raster:
DATA "/vsis3/myS3Bucket/raster.tif"
Vector:
CONNECTION "/vsis3/myS3Bucket/vector.fgb"
MapServer is definitely a WMS server. Any OGC compliant WMS url can be
parsed and processed. Using MapCache along MapServer is highly desirable
as all subsequent WMS requests are cached. Further, you can seed any
cache directly with MapCache.

Is it possible to cache tiles to and serve them from S3 buckets? We
currently mount S3 folders in EC2 instances one of which is the
directory we specify in MAP/IMAGEPATH, but it requires us to use s3fs-
fuse and that means we have to use EC2 as opposed to Fargate, which we
would prefer. Can MapServer act as a client to S3?
I have been looking at MapCache, and as far as I can tell, it's a
separate server that works alongside a WMS server, although I am not
sure that MapServer counts as a WMS server. We use it to serve geoJSON,
UTF grid, etc. Is it what we want to use for this?
Thanks,
Rob
