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.

Where is TLS measured first?

From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter T.

How fast is rollback for t-03?

The runbook is a command plus a named owner. There is no wait for a weekly change freeze.

Is transit the default path?

No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.

TLS that prefers modern suites and short-lived certs

Certificates are issued close to the edge, renewed automatically, and revoked without waiting for a weekly change window.

TLS: Why it matters on this continent

Design for TLS on letter T starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook t-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.

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: How this letter ties to the rest

Handoff from letter T TLS into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook t-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.

TLS: A note on cost and transit

Rollback for t-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while TLS prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.

TLS peering T-07

Peering for TLS (t-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.

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.

TLS docs T-12

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