Currently clock skew tests are disabled:
cockroach/pkg/cmd/roachtest/tests/jepsen.go
Lines 38 to 42 in 21a286f
Tests rely directly on ntp.ubuntu.com which starts throttling requests pretty quickly making tests flaky.
It should be easy to install an ntp package to the controller node only and point tests to use it since we could pass its IP to the test from roachtest. We need to check how it would interact with chrony or to disable chrony on controller.
