Magento 2.1.18 is the final 2.1.x release. After June 2019, Magento 2.1.x will no longer receive security patches, quality fixes, or documentation updates.
To maintain your site's performance, security, and PCI compliance, upgrade to the latest version of Magento.

Update ece-tools version

Typically, an update includes patches and available hotfixes as part of the magento-cloud-metapackage. If you still use a version of Magento Commerce Cloud that does not contain the ece-tools package, then your project requires an upgrade.

Before beginning an upgrade or a patching process, create an active branch from the Integration environment and checkout the new branch to your local workstation. Dedicating a branch to the upgrade or the patch process helps to avoid interference with your work in progress.

To update the ece-tools package:

  1. On your local workstation, perform an update using Composer.

    1
    
    composer update magento/ece-tools
    

    If you cannot update beyond ece-tools version 2002.0.8, follow the upgrade steps.

  2. Add, commit, and push your code changes.

    1
    
    git add -A && git commit -m "Update magento/ece-tools" && git push origin <branch name>
    
  3. After test validation, merge this branch to the Integration branch.
