How well would this work for something like pointing OwnCloud storage at? Most of my cloud experience is with an internal vmware cluster, so I'm not sure how to evaluate something like this.

I'm not sure what the point would be - OwnCloud already knows how to work with S3 directly.

Just as an example app.

Basically, use S3 the same way you use an in house SAN.

Also, if I remember correctly, S3 integration is per account, and only if you enable the external file storage app. It wouldn't let you store all data on S3. So, mounting a bucket as the OwnCloud data folder would be the way I'd get that.
