<p>As title says, I would like to mine in the cloud. Is it profitable? I don't mean bitcoin because the network hash power is too high at the moment. I'd like to mine, for example, Dogecoin in the cloud. Is it possible and profitable? Thanks! </p>

Possible? Yes. Profitable? Only if you're not the one paying the EC2 bill.

Is it profitable to mine any Altcoin in the Cloud? Amazon aws has servers with GPU.
