We have a website that is hosted in Windows Server 2008 R2, with IIS 7.5 The webserver hosts a couple of websites developed with ASP Classic and ASPX
Is there a way to host the files for the dynamic website on Amazon S3?
I know static content can be served directly from S3, but that's not the case as its a dynamic website that has to be handled by IIS.
The business case for this is to use Amazon S3 as a shared container between a farm of EC2 Webservers, which would be instantiated and terminated with CloudWatch as the servers' load spikes or slows.
Edit:
There are ASP pages that create or edit other ASP pages. So they need to be shared across the web server farm (EC2 autoscale group in AWS).
Best Answer
I've found some software that lets you use a S3 Bucket as a windows drive on EC2 instances. That could make possible to make a drive and use it to setup a website with shared asp files on multiple servers using IIS.

Open (not exaclty for IIS, but for *nix WebServers)
I've got yet to find an free/open alternative to mounting S3 as drives on windows.
