what is the standard way to sync time under Centos 7. ntp or chrony.
chrony syncs to an NTP server, in the same way that ntp syncs to an NTP server. The both work.
I have both ntpd (under CentOS 6) and chronyd (under CentOS 7) NTP servers on my network, they all work fine together.
P.
I used chrony at home, a couple of decades ago (give or take) way back when I was on dialup, because if its ability to serve time to machines that are not always connected.
Since it is now the default NTP provider for EL7 I use it again, and it still works fine for my needs.
