Using Amazon S3 as a File System for MongoDB

Question

I am deciding to use MongoDB as a Document management DB in my application. Initially I was thinking to use S3 as a data store but it seems mongoDB uses local file system to store data. Can I use S3 as data store in MongoDB. thanx

Answer 1

Provisioned IOPS in AWS is ideal for MongoDB.

This link has notes about running MongoDB on AWS and is rather useful.
