Cloud-native equivalent to VRTs

[remi-braun]

Hello 👋,

I have a question: is creating VRT from COGs an heresy?
If so, what can replace the VRT format in a cloud-native environment?

Usecase: I have this tiled DEM converted in individual COGs tiles stored in my university's S3 compatible storage.
How can I access it through rasterio easily to mimic the on disk behaviour of VRTs?

Thanks a lot!
