Can subversion be hosted on Amazon's hosted cloud service?

This Apache Subversion (SVN) Server Image is packaged to leverage cost-effectiveness, scalability, and flexibility. The product has charges associated with it for support, maintenance, and pre-configuration to be instantaneously deployed on AWS Marketplace with all security and enterprise standards.
SVN is the leader in centralized version control. Systems such as CVS and SVN have a single remote server of versioned data with individual users operating locally against copies of that data's version history. Developers commit their changes directly to that central server repository.
Enterprise-class SVN – with a focus on compliance and security – in the cloud.
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the Amazon Web Service you use to create and run virtual machines in the cloud (we call these virtual machines 'instances').
Sure. Set up an ec2 instance with linux and install svn on that server.

Absolutely - my company hosts a public open source SVN repository and our private repository on an Amazon EC2 instance. You'll want to be careful about data integrity and backups; we store the repository data on an Elastic Block Store volume for resilience, svnsync the repositories to another EC2 instance and EBS volume so that we can quickly bring up a new SVN server if the main one goes down, and also do an offsite backup via svnadmin dump to one of our physical servers just in case the whole cloud goes offline (hey, our source code is our crown jewels after all !)
The only other thing I can think of is that Amazon isn't particularly up to date with the Linux versions that they provide. We run Fedora Core, and the latest version available on EC2 is Fedora Core 8. The version of SVN that's installed via yum on FC8 is only 1.4.2.2, so if you want a newer version like 1.5 you may have to compile it from source.
