I don't understand why you need S3 for that. Can't you just as easily schedule an upload of updated files from your computer to your server?

Yea - it can work just as easily on your own server but the idea is that you don't have to worry about hosting at all and rely on S3 which is the most reliable AWS service.

It's other way around: with S3 you don't need your own server. KISS
