Stay punctual with chrony
The End of Time
In contrast to large and cumbersome applications, your machines will thank you for running small, lightweight pieces of software to help with load and, therefore, resource availability. The excellent chrony definitely ticks that box.
Moreover, being able to secure your time server installation quickly and easily is a very welcome feature. With AWS as a cloud provider and a number of OSs now opting for chronyd
over ntpd
, it's well worth getting to grips with chrony sooner rather than later.
