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: How this letter ties to the rest

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: A note on cost and transit

High availability probe H-02

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.

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 capacity H-04

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.
