I'd pull in the AWS PHP SDK (amazing that we can use three sets of acronyms like that) via Composer, and then create a "quick script", if such a thing exists, to handle orchestrating all of that. Rendering HTML isn't the highlight of Laravel (altho the template language is pretty nice)

I think the AWS angle is a bit of a canard in this situation. I'm a non-privileged user of the database just making simple read queries over SQL. The AWS SDK looks to solve problems I don't have.
