The ntp cookbook now provides a single custom resource, ntp_service, for managing the distro-packaged NTP service on current Debian, Ubuntu, and Enterprise Linux 9+ releases.

• Debian 12+
• Enterprise Linux 9+
• Ubuntu 22.04+

Additional platform constraints are documented in LIMITATIONS.md.

Use ntp_service to install the platform-appropriate NTP package, render the packaged config file, and enable the packaged systemd service.

ntp_service 'default' do
  servers %w(0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org)
end

See documentation/ntp_ntp_service.md for the full property reference.
