Sounds like there could be awesome features here.

Remotely triggered black holes for VPC? Elastic Firewall?

Not crazy about firewalls in general, but they would help in the case that you are paying for data-out.

Firewalls are useless in a DDOS attack.

If you use BPF, you should be able to filter out the bad traffic effectively. Although, if you're getting flooded with an absurd amount of traffic (faster than the network card can consume), then there's nothing to do.
