Failover: rollback in Santiago (SCL) · F-66
xserv-f-c9f31770f808
Runbook F-66 for Failover in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-f-c9f31770f808. This page covers rollback for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Failover: A note on cost and transit
Rollback for f-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Failover prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
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 headers F-09
Headers for f-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Failover debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
Failover timeouts F-10
Timeouts on f-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. Failover in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.
Failover regions F-11
Region names on f-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. Failover dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.
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.
- Where is Failover measured first?

- How fast is rollback for f-03?
- The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.
