I've been reading Amazon EC2 doc, and you can create the AMI with the AMI tools, but, for registering (and then be able to use it for insert in new instances), you need EC2 API tools, and they need Java.
Is it necessary then to install all Java package in a host, to register a just created AMI?
I find it unnecessary because Java installation takes too much space and performance.
Use the Amazon GUI to create the AMI instead?
Not all the tools require java, you can use the ruby ones for example

However these are not offical tools, but 3rd party created tools.

Im asking if there is an option to add S3 Storage to Windows? It should be something without a third party software.
No, S3 is not block storage, so it can't be directly mounted by an operating system. There are some third party tools that implement this, but in my experience they don't work very well.
Edit: It looks like Amazon does have a solution for this now.
we are planning to install directly from kubernetes.io, instead getting it through vendor, for example open shift, rancher, etc.
How should we go about support if we have problem with our kubernetes cluster?
Of course, vendors also gets their kubernetes source code from kubernetes.io and don't change it.
Thank you.
Using OSS software directly means that whenever you face a problem you need to solve it yourself.
Having said that, there is a very wide array of communities filled with friendly people who would probably be happy to lend a hand, at least that's what I've learned through my experience.
A few places you should try are the issues section of the kubernetes project, kubernetes slack workspace, r/kubernetes.
We have SiteMinder configured in our environment and I've been given an ASP.NET website to support.
Where do I begin to learn SiteMinder? I have some background in ADFS, but need to translate my skills to this product.
Check out the bookshelf documentation on support.ca.com
CA Education also offers some courses and new certifications, but you can probably learn just as well through the docs.
I would recommend reading all the documentation.
I would also recommend purchasing a VMWare workstation license and getting an isolated installation of SiteMinder, AD, the POlicy Server and a protected web server on the VM. that will give you a nice sandbox on which to play, just remember to take a snapshot after you get it all installed.
Instead of purchasing VMWare, you can use Oracle VirtualBox to run a CentOS VM (CentOS essentially the free version of RedHat).
The newest versions of SiteMinder (CA Single Sign On) only support RedHat Linux and Microsoft Windows.
We are learning chef-solo and need a good example for better understanding.. Have searched a lot on net but the ideas are very confusing. can anyone suggest some examples.. and also how to run them.. We have installed chef-0.8.16 gem but couldnt figure out how to work with it.. We are using windows platform..Its urgent..
Windows platform support is quite new (version 0.8.14), so its ability to configure resources on Windows is fairly limited until the next release which will add new resource providers for the platform.
A good resource for Chef Solo is its page on the Wiki. You can also get help from the IRC channel and mailing lists.
I have created a bootstrap script here for testing out chef-solo in ec2. It includes a very trivial recipe to run also.

for more complex recipes you could have a look here:

What Windows SVN+Task Management+Blog+Timeline free, Open Source solutions (projects) are there?
Redmine is a very good open source system that supports most if not all of your listed operations. www.redmine.org
It is available in ready-to-use bitnami stacks for Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc. www.bitnami.org
Sounds like you need Trac:
Windows SVN
Yes, it's a web based application that can run on a Windows or Linux server, and can be accessed by either Windows or Linux clients
Tasks
Yes, they're referred to as "tickets"
Management
Yes, there is a "Roadmap" feature that does project management based on milestones, ticket durations, and creates a schedule.
Blog
Yes, Trac has a wiki that users can create and edit
Timeline
Yes, Trac has it. Allows you to browse source, see svn log, etc.
free, opensource
Trac is free and open source
FogBugz can integrate with the most popular source control systems and supports issue tracking and planning (presumably what you mean by timeline). While it doesn't support blogs, it supports wikis, which should be sufficient if you want to use it for documentation.
While not open source, it has a free student/startup version if you only need two accounts.
