This article will explain in detail how to configure ntp server addresses when building a cloud platform. The content of the article is of high quality, so the editor will share it with you for reference. I hope you will have some understanding of the relevant knowledge after reading this article.

NTP is the Network time Protocol (Network Time Protocol), which is used to synchronize the time of each computer in the network.

NTPD (Network Time Protocol daemon) is a daemon of the Linux operating system, which fully implements the NTP protocol and is used to correct the time before the local system and the clock source server. The difference between NTPD and NTPDate is a gradual step-by-step correction of time without a time jump, while NTPDate is a breakpoint update.

In the computer world, time is very important. for example, for scientific research activities such as rocket launch, there is a very high demand for the unity and accuracy of time, according to the time of A computer or the time of B computer?

NTP is used to solve this problem. NTP (Network Time Protocol, Network time Protocol) is a protocol used to synchronize the time of various computers in the network. Its purpose is to synchronize the computer clock to UTC UTC. Its accuracy can reach 0.1ms in the local area network and 1-50ms in most places on the Internet.

NTP enables computers to time synchronize their servers or clock sources (such as quartz clock, GPS, etc.). It can provide high-precision time correction and can use encryption confirmation to prevent virus protocol attacks.

The host computer is generally connected to multiple clock servers and uses statistical algorithms to filter the time from different servers to select the best path and source to correct the host time. Even if the host is unable to contact a clock server for a long time, the NTP service can still operate effectively.

This is the end of how to configure the ntp server address when building a cloud platform. I hope the above content can be of some help and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
