Failover: Why it matters on this continent

Design for Failover on letter F starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook f-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.

Failover: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for Failover (f-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.

Failover: What operators should measure

Policy for Failover is versioned as f-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.

Failover docs F-12

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