Approved by Ubuntu Technical Board # on 2011-02-08 (LP: #104525). See http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html for # more information. pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst # Use Ubuntu's ntp server as a fallback. pool ntp.ubuntu.com }}} This requires opening an outbound security group for NTP (which is not necessarily an issue, but is an extra bit of configuration to mess with). AWS provides an NTP service for use in their cloud (see: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/set-time.html AWS Docs]), and it can be configured like this: {{{ server 169.254.169.123 prefer iburst }}} This server requires no security group rule modifications."
