How to setup AWS EC2 F1 mining Xilinx FPGA

[Etherion]

Google is not bering very good to me so I'm asking.

Is there any resroce or person that has managed to setup a AWS F1 mining altcoin profitably?

I assume that if you are making money from mining on a AWS FPGA server then your not going to tell.

there were few posts related to AWS in another post related to FPGA mining and one person told that he does mine via AWS FPGA but someone also mentioned that actually amazon does not allow it and bans immediately once you get caught.
Sorry cannot give you the links, as i spent few hrs on reading that thread, so do your own research if you are interested.
IMO there should be a way and it worth it yet, unless not too much people involved

I have read many posts but so far it seems that it is just an exercise of learning. Just wondering if it can be profile as it does not look like it can. I can understand that they will ban you if you use it with a free subscription but as a paid customer I can't see them caring.

it would be great if you find a solution and post it here

Exactly this. In the unlikely chance that you even get to use these FPGAs for crypto, AWS has automated monitoring bots that will find out you are mining. They will of course terminate your miner and your entire AWS account. I wouldn't want to go through all the hassle. If you're going to learn how to FPGA anyway just buy and invest in real machines instead.

would definately give it a try, but it`s not availabe in my country or the prices offered makes the ROI to high for investing.
I`m waiting for chineese analogs, once the giants will realize the opportunity.

How about Microsoft Azure though? I don't think they have that anti-mining clause... Have they got FPGA instances available?

This is false information being circulated.

For the Amazon FPGA rentals, you are only allowed to pull 85W on the FPGA (nearly nothing), making it very hard to make enough profit to pay for the rental.  It is possible, but you won't make anywhere close as to what you can make with a real piece of hardware.

I fully expect it to not even cover the rental, but want to learn from seeing it running and work my way backwards before considering purchasing expensive hardware that I do not have the knowledge to make use of.
