The clocks of information processing systems used by the organization shall be synchronized to approved time sources.
All servers and supporting infrastructure rely on system-level NTP services (e.g., `chrony`, `ntpd`,`systemd-timesyncd`) managed through Puppet to stay synchronized with approved time sources for all servers.
Although KubeAid does not manage NTP inside clusters, all logs and metrics collected via Fluent Bit → Loki and Prometheus are normalized to UTC, ensuring consistent timestamps across applications, clusters, and external systems.
We have Prometheus alert rules to detect NTP issues across each servers.
