Zones: cache in Miami (MIA) · Z-80
xserv-z-0ddd708c2cca
Runbook Z-80 for Zones in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-z-0ddd708c2cca. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Zones: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Zones (z-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.
Zones: What operators should measure
Policy for Zones is versioned as z-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.
Zones: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for z-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.
Zones docs Z-12
Public docs for letter Z stay aligned with identifier xserv-z-pack. Page z-12 is the Zones slice operators search before the homepage. Edits in Miami show up in São Paulo on the next publish.
Zones design Z-01
Design for Zones on letter Z starts in São Paulo (GRU). Runbook z-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.

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