If you want to do real browser testing then you need something that is going to run those browsers (which is where either the EC2 AMI's or Windows Agents come into play).

If you don't need that level of fidelity you can use something like phantomjs and just script it.

Otherwise there are also a bunch of commercial services that do monitoring with real browsers:
