Updating Ubuntu on EC2 instance

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 on an EC2 instance. It is acting as a virtual host using Apache2 for several domains.

When I connect to it with SSH, I get the following output:

steve@steve-Inspiron-3268:~$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/key-ub-20220725-1.pem ubuntu@13.41.164.129
Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-1017-aws x86_64)

Do I need to run the following three commands to update the system?

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo systemctl reload apache2

Is this something I need to do periodically or can I instruct Ubuntu to do it on a regular basis. I do not want to write a script and run it using CRON because that is getting outside my experience and I am trying to keep my system as simple as possible.
