Runbook U-76 for Uptime in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-u-7cafc1fe0d98. This page covers capacity for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.

Uptime: Failure modes we actually see

Capacity notes for u-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.

Uptime: How this letter ties to the rest

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

Uptime: A note on cost and transit

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

Uptime peering U-07

Peering for Uptime (u-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.

Uptime cache U-08

Cache rules for Uptime on u-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.

Uptime headers U-09

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

Uptime timeouts U-10

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

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