AWS AMIs set with timezone PDT? RFE to change it to UTC #18

Open amolari opened 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We generate AWS AMIs with this tool. The instances then boot with timezone PDT. We see that in various system logs (such as /var/log/daemon.log). It switches to local time when NTP get synchronized. That means, our logging (cloug-init, cfn-* files,...) start with a PDT time.

Describe the solution you'd like From a more universal perspective, could the generated instances boot with timezone UTC?

Hi @f5-dimov BIGIP-14.1.2.8-0.0.7.iso no EHF. Note: same observation with previous 14.1.2.3, 14.1.2.6 and 14.1.2.7 versions.
