TLS: cache in Miami (MIA) · T-08

xserv-t-83d301f2de37

Runbook T-08 for TLS in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-t-83d301f2de37. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

TLS: How XServ runs it day to day

Probes for TLS (t-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.

TLS: What operators should measure

Policy for TLS is versioned as t-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.

TLS: Failure modes we actually see

Capacity notes for t-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.

TLS cache T-08

Cache rules for TLS on t-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.

TLS headers T-09

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

TLS timeouts T-10

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

TLS regions T-11

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

Is transit the default path?
No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
Does TLS on letter T share fate with other letters?
The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for TLS stay isolated, so incident t-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
