Section Number and Name: 

KVM guest timing management

Describe the issue: 

Only ntpd example is shown, but guests could be RHEL7

Suggestions for improvement: 

Add chronyd command examples

Additional information: 

This text is not good:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon should be running on the host and the guest virtual machines. Make sure to install ntp and enable the ntpd service: 

NTP is the protocol, ntp is the package which provides ntpd

Try something like:
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) should be configured on the host and the guest virtual machines. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier, NTP is implemented by ntpd. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, both ntpd and chronyd can provide an NTP time synchronization service.

Adding links to the Deployment Guide for RHEL6 and the Sysadmin Guide for RHEL7 would be a bonus.
