Yes, if he bought $8,000 in AWS credits then he can use it as he wants, but I doubt this kind soul is trying to just throw out $8k. This is very very likely promotional credit. They hand it out like candy. Edit: Okay, I can see that if his approach is to use it on his own account, but for someone else's purposes, then it's probably fine. I don't think they even have any system to transfer AWS credits Edit2: Then again I would be wary of publicly announcing that I'm actively trying to use my AWS credits for other people even though I'm not technically "transferring" them...

-yup its a promotional credit (started at 10k), i didnt really buy it -nope I can't transfer it -yes my approach was simply to give the person/people access to my account -Its my fucking server and I can run whatever script I see fit .. but ok realistically maybe its not the best idea to give it to a commercial startup/project that has a legal entity to be sued. but I don't think its really that big of a deal to run some crawlers
