It is not sudo which is causing you trouble but missing apt-get.

Check which version of linux you are running on your instance. The default Amazon Linux AMI uses YUM as its package manager so it has not apt-get installed.

Try installing with yum instead of apt-get:

sudo yum <package-name>

To install openJDK, this should work on Amazon Linux AMI:

sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
