High availability: capacity in Miami (MIA) · H-64

xserv-h-9a603627ed48

Runbook H-64 for High availability in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-h-9a603627ed48. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

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

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 headers H-09

Headers for h-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. High availability debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.

High availability timeouts H-10

Timeouts on h-10 are tighter than the WAN RTT to Bogotá. High availability in Santiago fails fast and retries once; a third try needs a human because it is no longer a blip.

High availability regions H-11

Region names on h-11 match DNS and tickets: Bogotá / BOG, with Miami as the documented pair. High availability dashboards never say “LATAM” as if it were one RTT.

High availability docs H-12

Public docs for letter H stay aligned with identifier xserv-h-pack. Page h-12 is the High availability slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.

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.
