By default, Ubuntu uses ntp.ubuntu.com pool.

Neither package ntp nor ntpdate is available in ubuntu 18.04 server by default (unless one enables the universe repository). Attempting to follow the above instructions results in ‘Package ‘ntp’ has no installation candidate’.

Instead time synchronization is handled by default by the systemd service timesyncd. If one wants to install and use ntp and related utilities, one should first disable the timesyncd service, then add the universe repository, and then one can proceed to install ntp as described above.
