## Additional Configuration

### Time Synchronization

It is recommended that your vSphere template or Bare Metal instances have a method of time synchronization implemented. This will prevent issues from occurring during the Kubernetes initialization phase.

By default, Ubuntu uses `timedatectl`/`timesyncd` to synchronise time, and they are available and active by default. For more information see this [documentation](https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/use-timedatectl-and-timesyncd) from Ubuntu, this documentation also provides information about configuring a private timeserver if the default public server from Ubuntu is not preferred.

## Examples

This section provides an example configuration based on the physical-machine and vSphere inventory files that are provided in this repository. You are expected to modify the inventory files to match your environment and your requirements.
