:strawberry: Suggested change

We need a common source of time, could be per SRE or per deployment.

:steam_locomotive: How could this be done?

Deploy an NTP server (probably as a Docker image).

N.B. this might be a problem for Azure Container Instances: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71606689/how-to-time-sync-in-azure-container-instances

Note, we cannot set NTP for containers on Azure container instances. The only places we would set this would be workspace VMs.
