Best Way to Use AWS Credits for WCG Processing?

I've inherited some AWS credits and want to put them towards WCG projects.

I know I can manually spin up and configure a bunch of Linux instances with the agent, but is there an easier way for me to donate cloud processing time/resources to my WCG projects?

Re: Best Way to Use AWS Credits for WCG Processing?

I've used The Science Cloud https://thescience.cloud/ some times. It's very easy to use, but a little expensive, so I don't use it much. It isn't AWS based though.
You can run most Boinc projects, also WCG. It connects to your account, so you get the credits for your work done.
