Examples

Example-1: Configure an NTP policy with public NTP servers and UTC timezone.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ntp:
            - name: MyNtpPolicy
              enabled: true
              timezone: UTC
              ntp_servers:
                - 0.pool.ntp.org
                - 1.pool.ntp.org
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: Configure an NTP policy with authenticated NTP servers.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ntp:
            - name: MyAuthNtpPolicy
              enabled: true
              timezone: America/New_York
              authenticated_ntp_servers:
                - server_name: ntp.internal.example.com
                  key_type: SHA1
                  sym_key_id: 1
                  sym_key_value: !env NTP_KEY_VALUE

Example-3: Apply tags to an NTP policy for environment and owner tracking. Tags are supported on all policies, pools, and templates using the same syntax.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          ntp:
            - name: MyTaggedNtpPolicy
              enabled: true
              timezone: UTC
              ntp_servers:
                - 0.pool.ntp.org
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod
                - key: owner
                  value: network-ops
