How about gPXE? Would it be possible to boot with it and point it to

Actually, some of these services work perfectly well on Amazon's EC2**
Step 1 is clearly a problem, it's clearly impossible for DHCP to happen over
the internet.
but Amazon EC2 instances can run any (linux) software that uses real TCP or
UDP for network transport:
so it should possible to get TFTP

works.
Using Ubuntu seems the best to try first

There's a number of challenges to making this work.
1) The bootrom in the thin client is going to do an Ethernet broadcast
looking for a DHCP server. There's no way for the Amazon "cloud" to see
that request. You could try a dhcp forwarder, if your router supports
that, but the cloud
I wouldn't recommend this at all. Think of the bandwidth!
