Body: <p>I'm going through some steps documented in <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/upload-objects.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How Do I Upload Files and Folders to an S3 Bucket?</a> to get my ova into S3. Seems like a waste of time for me to download it and then upload it, is there a mechanism to import an S3 object from a web resource? </p>
  
  <p>I have a UCS Director job that builds OVAs for me, uploads them to a Cassandra big data cluster and serves out obfuscated links for me and customers to download them - I'd like to provide said obfuscated link to AWS instead of downloading it on my computer and uploading it to S3.  In the end, I think I could just make my images go straight from UCS Director to AWS, but for the time being, I'd like to save a step.</p>
