Clock Synchronization#
Overview#
FutureVuls maintains accurate and consistent time across the entire system through the time synchronization mechanism of AWS, which FutureVuls uses as its service infrastructure. This page describes the clock synchronization method used in FutureVuls and information about log timestamps.
Time Synchronization Method#
The FutureVuls system infrastructure runs on AWS, and all systems of this service, including AWS managed services, are time-synchronized via NTP (Network Time Protocol) using the Amazon Time Sync Service.
The Amazon Time Sync Service provides highly accurate time synchronization based on multiple reliable time sources, such as atomic clocks with satellite and terrestrial radio connections, in each AWS Region.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Time synchronization service | Amazon Time Sync Service |
| Synchronization protocol | NTP (Network Time Protocol) |
| Time source | Multiple reliable time sources within each AWS Region (see the official AWS documentation for details) |
| Reference time | UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) |
Log Timestamps#
The timestamps of the various logs recorded by FutureVuls (operation logs, scan logs, detection logs, etc.) are all recorded based on the time synchronization described above.
