For my institute this is going to be _really_ useful for Genomics data processing because we can't justify buying expensive hardware for undergrad research. Using a FPGA hardware over cloud sounds almost magical!

Huh? Isn't Twitch just for gaming content?
Nope. Twitch is excellent for all kinds of live content.

You can't justify buying it but you can justify renting it? Has your department heard of amortization?

While its mainly Game dev or game dev related its not limited to game dev stuff. From their FAQ https://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2176641
Examples of what you can broadcast on Twitch Creative:
...
Programming and coding
Software and game development
Web development

Yeah, the point is that you should need to buy any hardware even for development, which is the biggest win to me!
But having the hardware is vital. You have to test your design a lot. You're still going to need Vivado (which isn't cheap) and you'll need instance time to test the design on the real hardware with real workloads, along with any syntheiszable test benches you want to run on the hardware. The pricing structure of the development AMI is going to be meaningful here, because it clearly includes some kind of Vivado licen…
P.S. The few orders I had were SoC Zynq boards in the $400-1000 range.
If you don't click through to read about this: you can write an FPGA image in verilog/VHDL and upload it... and then run it. To me that seems like magic. HDK here: https://github.com/aws/aws-fpga (I work for AWS)
I'm not sure what you mean by the "magic" part here, can you please clarify? [background: many years of writing VHDL specifically for FPGAs, using various dev boards and custom boards]
