Comment 1 Noam Manos 2018-05-08 14:43:35 UTC

Workaround:

(undercloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ sudo yum install ntp
...                                                                                                                                                                                      
Installed:
  ntp.x86_64 0:4.2.6p5-28.el7

Comment 2 Alex Schultz 2018-05-08 16:25:49 UTC

It is not installed unless you configure ntp via the undercloud.conf. We've recently changed this to always be installed, but if you aren't properly configuring the ntp servers in the undercloud.conf at install time it would not install ntp.
