High availability: cache in Miami (MIA) · H-56
xserv-h-560ea5716aa3
Runbook H-56 for High availability in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-h-560ea5716aa3. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
High availability: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for High availability (h-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.
High availability: What operators should measure
Policy for High availability is versioned as h-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.
High availability: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for h-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.
High availability handoff H-05
Handoff from letter H High availability into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook h-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
High availability rollback H-06
Rollback for h-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while High availability prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
High availability peering H-07
Peering for High availability (h-07) prefers the IX fabric that already carries last-mile ISPs in Bogotá. Session counts and prefix limits are on the same page as the Miami backup path.
High availability cache H-08
Cache rules for High availability on h-08 keep language-correct objects near Miami. São Paulo is a sibling cache, not an origin. TTLs are short enough that a bad asset does not live through a weekend.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does High availability on letter H share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for High availability stay isolated, so incident h-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
