Wordpress with all of wp_content/ or uploads/ on external server?

I'm setting up an install of Wordpress on our server instances which are hosted with AWS. Of course, everything that's on our servers is in version control with git and there is no FTP so uploading anything like media or plugins directly to our servers is a no go.

What I'd like to do is host the core Wordpress files on our servers but save uploads on an external server. Ideally, this would be all of wp_content/ but I'd settle for just uploads/ if that's not possible. Is there a way to do this?

Your best bet is with a plugin such as WP Offload S3. It will take uploads to the media library and send them over to S3 and switch the URL to point to S3 for you. I have used this with a group of autoscaling servers and it has been working well.
