Runbook U-24 for Uptime in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-u-7fb338be4fd6. This page covers docs for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
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: Why it matters on this continent
Design for Uptime on letter U starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook u-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.
Uptime: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Uptime (u-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.
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.
