We want to set up Laserfiche on AWS

Is it advisable to use S3 as a storage for documents or just use the volumes that is set up with the EC2 Instance?
Also, if we can use the S3 Bucket, how do I point Laserfiche to the S3 path when setting up a repository?

Self-hosted Laserfiche products do not use S3 buckets for storage.

Just use the block storage (the volumes you setup with the instance). That is where your active data will be. You can expand without any downtime, schedule snapshots and have the ability to restore from them.

I only use buckets for manual backups of RDS databases and long term storage of archived data.

And you should create a separate EBS volume (E:\ drive etc.) for your repository volumes, audit logs, search catalogs, etc. in a production environment. Don't put them on the root/OS drive C:\.
