Clock skew refers to differences between the local clocks of different machines in a distributed system, usually caused by hardware crystal oscillator drift, NTP synchronization delay or VM scheduling jitter; even with NTP enabled on all nodes, deviations of seconds or even hundreds of milliseconds remain common.
