8.1. About PTP hardware
OpenShift Container Platform includes the capability to use Precision Time Protocol (PTP)hardware on your nodes. You can configure linuxptp services on nodes in your cluster that have PTP-capable hardware.
The PTP Operator works with PTP-capable devices on clusters provisioned only on bare metal infrastructure.
You can use the OpenShift Container Platform console to install PTP by deploying the PTP Operator. The PTP Operator creates and manages the linuxptp services. The Operator provides the following features:
- Discovery of the PTP-capable devices in a cluster.
- Management of the configuration of linuxptp services.
