According to the press release MentalImages' iRay and Reality Server are also supported. No doubt due to nVidia:
It would be great to see Octane on EC2, especially as support improves for various animation features (RIB in particular). At $2.10 an hour it will only cost you $50 a day (24 hours) for access to a pair of GTX 470s with 3GB VRAM.“The availability of NVIDIA Tesla(R) GPUs in the AWS cloud in the form of Amazon Cluster GPU Instances running the RealityServer(R) platform with the iray(R) renderer will provide architects, product designers, engineers, scientists and others with extraordinarily powerful tools that they can remotely access on mobile devices, PCs and other devices. Our tests have shown more than 90 percent scaling efficiency on clusters of up to 128 GPUs each.”
