Title:
No way to configure timesyncd specifically
Status in cloud-init:
Fix Released
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu (starting from Xenial), uses timesyncd by default as a NTP
client.
When configuring NTP, instead of configuring Ubuntu's default NTP
client, it installs and configures 'ntp' daemon. In Ubuntu Core,
however, it configures 'timesyncd' (obviously) because Ubuntu Core
doesn't support 'ntp'.
First, it would be nice to have consistency between both Ubuntu and
Ubuntu Core and configure timesyncd (as it is the default anyway).
Second, lets imagine the use case scenario where a image is configured
with NTP and you have an NTP snap or a snap that also needs to run
NTP.
In Ubuntu core this works nicely because the OS' uses timesyncd as
time source while the snap would provided NTP services from the snap
itself to its client.
However, in Ubuntu this doesn't work nicely because 'ntp' is running
in the host as an NTP client, however, the snap having NTP inside
needs to provide NTP services, but it won't be able to provided that
the host OS *also* has 'ntp' installed.
As such, it would be nice to either keep consistency (and configure
timesyncd for both Ubuntu Core and Ubuntu), or have the ability to
specifically configure 'timesyncd' instead of 'ntpd'.
