A financial services company has deployed a two-node ECS cluster in a data center that enforces strict compliance around time synchronization. The security team requires that all nodes synchronize to the corporate NTP server at 10.20.30.40, and that any drift beyond 50 ms be logged as a critical event. You need to configure this via the ECS portal. What should you do?

Navigate to Users > Roles, assign the NTP administrator role to your account, and then edit the /etc/ntp.conf file from the portal shell.

Navigate to Network > DNS Settings, add 10.20.30.40 as a DNS server, and enable the time-sync alert in the same panel.

Navigate to System > NTP Settings, enter 10.20.30.40 as the NTP server, and configure the monitoring threshold for clock drift in the alerting section.

Navigate to Storage > Pools, select the system pool, and set the NTP server address in the pool properties.

A managed service provider runs an ECS cluster for multiple tenants. They need to be notified via email when CPU usage on any node exceeds 85% for more than 10 minutes. They also want to ensure that these alerts are recorded in the audit log. What should you do in the ECS portal?

Navigate to Monitoring > Alerts, create a CPU usage alert with a threshold of 85% and a duration of 10 minutes, and set the notification to email.

Navigate to System > General, enable 'High CPU Notification', and enter the email address in the 'Contact' field.

Navigate to Storage > Pools, select the pool, and enable 'Performance Alerts' with a CPU threshold.

Navigate to Users > Roles, create a new role called 'CPU Monitor', and assign it an email address for alerts.
