Answer

  • Short NTP server outages (around five minutes) have minimal impact on StorageGRID operation, as nodes can temporarily rely on their local clocks.
  • Extended outages can lead to performance degradation or data consistency issues.
  • To reduce risk, downtime should be minimized, and multiple NTP servers should be configured for redundancy.
