FWIW, someone started an aws braket provider for qiskit a while ago here: https://github.com/carstenblank/qiskit-aws-braket-provider I'm not sure what the current status on it is, it looks like the repo hasn't had any activity in a while.

Thanks @mtreinish ! We have an entire list of attempts to bring Qiskit to AWS compiled by us and Braket team. Some of them are pretty decent but still require some work. We will review them as a first thing during QAMP.
