I want to know if it is possible to run a virtualized OS over a datacenter service. (i.e. to have a Windows Server at Amazon EC2 and two linux instances running on an installed virtualization engine like vmware...)

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

You could install VMware Server on an EC2 Windows machine and run some VMs under it. Not sure why you'd want to, at least not for production use. | |||

Yes. Yes you can. Simple as that. (Assuming you meant VMWare Player or Server and not a hypervisor) | |||

Here is someone who has a Linux instance at Amazon EC2 and is running a virtual Windows instance in it with QEmu: http://www.howtoforge.com/amazon_elastic_compute_cloud_qemu So it's probably possible. But ... why? | |||

It's impossible to answer for every available 'datacenter service', since they vary wildly in their implementation and available features. Some providers will let you do this. But for the example you gave no, you cannot do that. It's not possible to run virtualized systems within an EC2 instance. | |||
