Failover: policy in Bogotá (BOG) · F-75

xserv-f-dbc8a1766791

Runbook F-75 for Failover in Bogotá (BOG). Marker xserv-f-dbc8a1766791. This page covers policy for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

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: 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 design F-01

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 probe F-02

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 capacity F-04

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.

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.
Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
