1.0.0
Notable Changes
Note that the changes are not backward compatible and it is necessary to update playbooks that use them.
-
The following variables have been renamed according to common conventions:
ntp_servers
totimesync_ntp_servers
ptp_domains
totimesync_ptp_domains
dhcp_ntp_servers
totimesync_dhcp_ntp_servers
clock_step_threshold
totimesync_step_threshold
min_time_sources
totimesync_min_sources
-
The NTP implementation can be chosen by setting the
timesync_ntp_provider
variable to eitherntp
orchrony
. Thetimesync
role detects the current provider and does not change it unlesstimesync_ntp_provider
is set. The role also sets thetimesync_ntp_provider_os_default
variable to a value that conforms to the default choice for the OS release. To set the provider consistently for all hosts running the same OS release, use the following code in the playbook:timesync_ntp_provider: "{{ timesync_ntp_provider_os_default }}"
-
The default provider was changed to
ntp
on all minor versions of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 operating system for consistency. As noted above, the currently running provider will not be changed unless thetimesync_ntp_provider
variable is set.
