Hey there, I start working on a bug[1] last night about adding a managed NTP configuration to openstack-ansible hosts. My patch[2] gets chrony up and running with configurable NTP servers, but I'm still struggling to meet the "Proposal" section of the bug where the author has asked for non-infra physical nodes to get their time from the infra nodes. I can't figure out how to make it work for AIO builds when one physical host is part of all of the groups. ;)
I'd argue that time synchronization is critical for a few areas: 1) Security/auditing when comparing logs 2) Troubleshooting when comparing logs 3) I've been told swift is time-sensitive 4) MySQL/Galera don't like time drift However, there's a strong argument that this should be done by deployers, and not via openstack-ansible. I'm still *very* new to the project and I'd like to hear some feedback from other folks.
