Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In an attempt to limit outbound connections from the cloud to the outside world. One of the unknowns on a default configured chrony instance on a Linux computer is which NTP servers it will connect to. Generally these will be from a pool provided by the default distribution configuration.
Describe the solution you'd like A configuration option to enable an NTP Daemon on the deployed cloud instance.
Describe alternatives you've considered Using a separate dedicated server but it may be in the best interest of relative security to use the Algo server as the NTP server for local devices.
