Failover: timeouts in Santiago (SCL) · F-22
xserv-f-ca326933ab7a
Runbook F-22 for Failover in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-f-ca326933ab7a. This page covers timeouts for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Failover: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for f-04 assume rainy-season power in Miami and festival peaks toward São Paulo. The failure we actually see is a single uplink, not a cartoon partition of the whole continent. Spare ports and a second provider sit on the same runbook.
Failover: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter F Failover into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook f-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
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 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?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter F.
- 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.
