How to Configure NTPv6 server in Azure?

Question

Hi,

We have a requirement to configure NTPv6 servers and sync time on Firewall ASAv/FTDv VMs in our VNET.
Is there any NTPv6 Server provided by Azure which we can make use of instead of creating one from scratch in a VM?

If yes, could you please share the IPv4/IPv6 address for the same.
If no, could you please share info on how we can create NTPv6 server in Azure.

Thank you.

Hello @Aswin Antony

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform,

Azure hosts are synchronized to internal Microsoft time servers. If you want to have your own NTP server you will have to create and configure it manually:

I hope this helps!
