Abstract

Various applications require the use of accurate time. However, public cloud providers do not currently offer accurate time as a cloud service. We study the level of precision that can be achieved in current public cloud environments, and make the case for time-as-a-service, which can considerably improve the precision of timekeeping in the cloud.
