RFE: Support for direct offload of local data to object storage

[ferricoxide]

Most of the organizations I do Linux support for deploy in the cloud space (primarily AWS and Azure). Block-based storage tends to be priced much more dearly than object-based storage (S3, et. al.) is. Further, due to the number of people shifting to object-based storage, there are getting to be more products that will do analytics directly from streams to object-based storage. It would be great if, instead of having to store data to /var one could use something like Ruby's fog library to store directly to object storage, instead.
