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

- londons_explore 5y agoI'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.
