Description

Wolkvox uses Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as its infrastructure provider, where servers are deployed from preconfigured templates that, by default, synchronize time with Google’s atomic clock. This service ensures millisecond-level precision in time synchronization, which is essential for critical operations such as log records, authentication, transactions, and audits. While GCP ensures this configuration by design, Wolkvox implements periodic verification mechanisms to confirm that all servers maintain correct synchronization, ensuring data integrity and compliance with security standards.

Features

Synchronization with Google’s Atomic Clock

• Default Configuration: All GCP instances are deployed with time synchronization enabled and linked to Google’s atomic clock, requiring no manual setup.
• Guaranteed Precision: Google’s time service is based on high-precision NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers, synchronized with atomic sources.
• Technical Documentation: Google provides details about its time infrastructure at developers.google.com/time, including how synchronization and redundancy are managed.

Audit and Monitoring at Wolkvox

• Automated Verifications: Scripts and monitoring tools are implemented to periodically validate the time synchronization of critical servers.
• Proactive Alerts: If significant time deviations are detected, alerts are generated so the operations team can take immediate corrective actions.
• Audit Logs: Time synchronization logs are archived and reviewed as part of compliance and security processes, ensuring traceability.
