Failover: probes in Santiago (SCL) · F-26
xserv-f-fa34be8577c7
Runbook F-26 for Failover in Santiago (SCL). Marker xserv-f-fa34be8577c7. This page covers probes for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
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: 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 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.
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.
