It sounds like you must have taken some investment to qualify. But I believe my friend received the credit, and I have no idea if his business has received any investments or participates in any accelerator program.
It is a program (several different programs actually), you apply for it. This looks like a good place to start.[2]
If you don't think you qualify after reading that, might be worth talking to Arun Gupta anyway. He is the Principal Open Source Technologist. He was all over the Reddit thread answering questions about EKS today.[3] Super classy.
It looks like they offer $1000-$100000 depending on how fast you want to spend it and what stage you're at.[4] "AWS Activate - Portfolio Plus" is the program talked about, that offers $100k credit that expires in a year. If you don't qualify for that, you probably qualify for either the $1000 or the $15000.
