A2) The recommendation is to allow the defaults to be used for NTP services as they are automatically provided by the cloud provider to the CVO directly. If a source other than the configured AD DNS is desired, then this can be done using the BlueXP API (see the ‘Setup NTP server’ for the respective cloud provider).
