Amazon Time Sync Service adds support for Microsecond accurate time on 26 additional EC2 instance types in all commercial regions

Amazon Time Sync Service introduces support for microsecond accurate time on 26 additional EC2 instance types across all commercial regions. Built on Amazon's proven network infrastructure and the AWS Nitro System, microsecond accurate time and nanosecond precision hardware timestamps directly leverage reference clocks running in the Nitro System. This enables customers to easily order application events, measure one-way network latency, and increase distributed application transaction speeds. Customers can access microsecond accurate time on these additional instance types by creating a Precision Time Placement Group (PTPG), a new placement strategy that allows instances to be launched with Precision Time Protocol hardware clock (PHC) enabled. For workloads requiring both low network latency and precision time, customers can associate a PTPG with their Cluster Placement Group (CPG), ensuring that low-latency workloads also benefit from microsecond accurate time.
