For my application to work correctly server (container) should be based on EST. How do i go about settingthat. I have selected the server in Virginia but I am not sure if that sets the time zone or not

Pretty sure the servers are in UTC then to make sure all replicas/servers across regions are operating on the same times.

The server logs may display the times in your timezone or in UTC. I’ve seen the logs display both timezones, so I’m not too sure.

Honestly, in the code, I’d get the time in UTC then convert it to EST just to be on the safe side.

I have SSH into server and it returns time in UTC. I am changing my scheduling to use UTC. Trying to make sure there is nothing else I need to set because the serve is in Virginia.
