Disable apt upgrades globally
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I know that via apt-mark hold <packagename> you can disable upgrades for a specific package.
Is there a way to disable / freeze the apt upgrade globally?
P.S: I do not want to disable automatic updates; I want to permanently lock the process of apt upgrade.
I am launching a custom AMI on EC2 and the cloudt-init module performs an upgrade which I want to prevent by passing the appropriate command to user-data
apt

If you never need apt, you can remove it — it’s not a required or essential package, “merely” important. apt itself will loudly complain if you try this, and even tell you that it’s essential, but that’s not quite accurate (apt lumps essential and important packages together).
You can also effectively prevent apt from updating, upgrading or installing packages, without removing apt itself, by disabling all its repositories:
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
or less drastically
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list,.bak
for file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*; do if [ -f "$file" ]; then sudo mv "$file" "$file.bak"; fi; done

Even less drastically: Just put a # in front of every line of /etc/apt/sources.list:
#deb http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian stable main
