MAGENTO COMMERCE CLOUD
In the coming weeks Magento Commerce Cloud customers will begin to see site performance improvements as we enable Fastly Image Optimization for all customers. Image Optimization allows merchants to offload image transformation, serving images faster and decreasing page load times. Customers already enabled have seen 20 to 30 percentage point increases in sites’ Google Page Speed Scores and 60-90 percent reduction in image weight at no additional cost.
Additionally, we encourage all Magento Commerce Cloud customers to upgrade to the latest ece-tools package as soon as reasonably possible. Recent ece-tools patches deliver multiple production deployment improvements, performance enhancements, and support for local docker environments.
Upgrade instructions for 2.1.x are here and here (2 parts). Upgrade instructions for 2.2.x are here.

Best regards,
The Magento Team
