Problem Description
Recently I keep seeing the NTP issue with my custom AMI images. Some reason chrony daemonsets is not working as expected and seeing the intermittent issue. Possibly some configuration problems.
Solutions:
I decide to write a quick Kubernetes daemonsets to fix this problem. Daemoset is running a simple alpine
container. And a while loop while true; do hwclock -s; sleep 86400; done
, which basically run hwclock -s
command sleep for =246060 seconds = 1 day.
