Zones: headers in São Paulo (GRU) · Z-33
xserv-z-cef4b378bb46
Runbook Z-33 for Zones in São Paulo (GRU). Marker xserv-z-cef4b378bb46. This page covers headers for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
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: How this letter ties to the rest
Handoff from letter Z Zones into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook z-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Zones rollback Z-06
Rollback for z-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Zones prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Zones peering Z-07
Peering for Zones (z-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.
Zones cache Z-08
Cache rules for Zones on z-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.
Zones headers Z-09
Headers for z-09 carry the letter, the region (GRU) and a request id. Zones debugging in São Paulo should not require a packet capture in Santiago first.
- 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.
- Where is Zones measured first?
- From Santiago (SCL) toward Bogotá. A global average is not an SLO for letter Z.
