When scripting "sudo apt upgrade" with bash on Ubuntu 18.04, how can you automatically bypass the "package configuration" screen?

Folks, I've almost fully automated my script to do an initial software install from an Ubuntu 18.04 EC 2 image AWS. When I run upgrade, several package configuration windows pop up and require user interaction. Does anyone know how to bypass these messages? I appreciate your help! Best Regards, Tom

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
