I spent quite a bit of time today setting up an EC2 instance that will soon host a private svn and trac. First, I installed "Elasticfox" firefox extension and ec2 tools from Synaptic Package Manager.
Created a generic account (amazon does not allow EC2 instances to be transferred from an account to another, so don't use your personal account to set up an instance for your company) using a generic email, say sales@mycompany.com.
Then go through the process of setting up your AWS account and starting using EC2 (you'll need credit card for this). This process is quite straightforward thanks to the amazon ui (at a few places there are ambiguities though).
Now next I have to set up svn and trac on the EC2 instance. For the company-wide password management, probably LDAP would also be needed. Seems like an onerous task. Lets see tomorrow.
