Customers may experience brief outages as Apache and Varnish services restart.

### Changes

*   Customer websites will restart less frequently due to updates.
*   `ah-db-backup` will now be used to run customer backups, eventually becoming the default backup method.
*   Vendored Drush users can now use the `site-install` task.
*   The value of the `LOGNAME` environment variable should not be used to determine sitegroup or sitename in your `.htaccess` file or other custom scripts. Use the `AH_SITE_NAME`, `AH_SITE_GROUP`, or `AH_SITE_ENVIRONMENT` [environment variables](/acquia-cloud-platform/develop-apps/env-variable) instead.

### Fixed issues

*   When the same code is committed to multiple branches within the same minute, the `site-update task` runs correctly.
