DNS: design in São Paulo (GRU) · D-61

xserv-d-936255c837eb

Runbook D-61 for DNS in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-d-936255c837eb. This page covers design for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

DNS: Why it matters on this continent

Design for DNS on letter D starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook d-01 keeps a single owner, a written rollback, and a traffic split that can be reversed without a global freeze. Neighbors in Santiago only take overflow after the local pool fails a health window.

DNS: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for DNS (d-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.

DNS: What operators should measure

Policy for DNS is versioned as d-03. Operators measure error rate, p95 from Bogotá, and time-to-rollback — not a worldwide average. Changes land in Bogotá first, then Miami, with a hold if either region regresses.

DNS docs D-12

Public docs for letter D stay aligned with identifier xserv-d-pack. Page d-12 is the DNS slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.

Does DNS on letter D share fate with other letters?
The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for DNS stay isolated, so incident d-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
Where is DNS measured first?
From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter D.
