Comment on Amazon Time Sync Service

Google and GCP offer their own NTP endpoints. Does anyone know if GCP also exposes the TrueTime API to customers, or if it's only internal to Spanner?

I can't find any instance of the word "bound" in the GCP or Google NTP docs.

I'm pretty sure if you use the GCP dataflow stuff, the dataflow worker VM's will be given access to an RPC server which has the necessary endpoints for TrueTime.

Obviously it's all a matter of reverse engineering rather than documented API's.
