With 8,000$ worth of AWS credit, you would probably get a few cents worth of Bitcoin. Mining with computers or GPUs has stopped to be in any way profitable years ago.

You can certainly mine various altcoins that are still GPU mining based and see some return on it for 8K. Although AWS GPUs aren't that good at mining in general.
