I assume they got indexed by using Google's webmaster tools to trigger a crawl.

It's not the indexing that's the trick. That means nothing in this context. The interesting part is how a site with no backlinks etc can outrank a ton of other sites. The running hypothesis is that google treats all aws links as being owned/operated by Amazon.
No need for Webmaster tools to get indexed. Share it on G+ or any webpage which is indexed in Google your site will get indexed pretty soon.
You can only trigger a crawl on your own verified property, AFAIK.
