Hi Richard,

AWS instances currently lack support for the 1PPS signal.
Currently, time information can only be accessed via the GetTime call.
Some instance families already provide this functionality,
with the solution designed to work consistently across both bare-metal and virtualized environments.

Thanks,
David
