Re-balance North American traffic in DNS for codfw
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

With codfw available (as Tier-2), we need to run through some metrics and calculations and come up with a plan for re-balancing the NA-destined load between ulsfo, codfw, and eqiad. Currently eqiad and ulsfo are mostly in their pre-codfw state on balancing, and codfw only has 5 US States + Mexico.

Note: we've done a 24-hour test of all eqiad traffic to codfw already, so there's no real load concerns here, just latency and link-balance optimization.

BBlack claimed this task.

Well, there's long term stuff we can do better, but I guess no solid reason to keep this open in the task sense.
