Chrony

Note, this role is meant to install and configure the chronyd service on an Enterprise Linux system. This role should function on EL 6, EL 7, and Fedora systems.

By default, this role will use the configuration in the chrony_defaults variable, located in vars/{{ansible_distriution}}.yml. If you have a similar key in the chrony variable, then it will override the key in chrony_defaults. Additionally, any variable named chrony_ will override a chrony[key] and chrony_defaults[key] variable.
