This method is specific to Amazon EC2, but there is a gist located here https://gist.github.com/mwkorver/1ef45abac3871360f2b1 that is an example of how to deploy a cluster of Mapservers using a remote map file AND data. Both map file and source geotiffs are accessed via HTTP because they both sit on S3. The user-data script will install a few things including Yas3fs to run a Dockerized Mapserver image behind Nginx. Yas3fs is what mounts the S3 buckets in RO mode on the filesystem. The Dockerfile located here - https://github.com/mwkorver/mapserver is the source for the image referenced in the user-data script. Even if you don't care for Docker it useful as an install script for Mapserver on Ubuntu if you are looking to use Nginx. One problem I still have not fixed is that on reboot, Mapserver does not restart. Everything else comes back up. If someone could let me know how to fix that I would appreciate it. -Mark
