How to Install Chrony NTP to Synchronize Time in RHEL9/8

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol that synchronizes time and date settings across computer systems in a network. It is responsible for maintaining accurate time and date settings in computer systems in order for them to run critical tasks such as cron jobs, shell scripts, and real-time applications.

NTP has since been replaced by chronyd, a networking daemon that is an implementation of the Network Time Protocol. The Chronyd service synchronizes the system clock with online NTP servers or an on-premise NTP server.
