This module provides basic NTP support.

It has two available classes:

ntp::daemon

This runs the usual 'ntpd' daemon, and thus ensures that a machine will stay synchronized to the time server.

ntp::atboot

This runs ntpdate at boot time, synchronizing the time once, but not running a daemon (which could affect performance times later). This is used on systems that will be running talos tests.
