I have my windows and linux VMs running off of Azure, are Azure's NTP servers protected from tampering issues?

    Yes, Azure is now backed by infrastructure running Windows Server 2016. Windows Server 2016 has improved algorithms used to correct time and condition the local clock to synchronize with UTC. Windows Server 2016 also improved the VMICTimeSync service that governs how VMs sync with the host for accurate time. Improvements include more accurate initial time on VM start or VM restore and interrupt latency correction for samples provided to Windows Time (W32time) Please accept answer if it helps, Thanks!
