Set TimeZone on Windows Azure Virtual Machines(IaaS)
We are planning to host our web application Windows Azure Virtual
Machines(IaaS). The application was developed to work in Central European
time zone(CET). Will there be any problem if we change the time zone on
Azure VMs from UTC to CET?
For example if there is any auto-disaster-recovery / restart / any other
maintenance operation on any virtual machine, will we have to explicitly
log-in and set the time-zone as per our preference or will time-zone
setting be preserved ?
Changing time-zone is not recommended for Web Roles and Worker
roles(Platform as a Service) as per this article "Manage TimeZone for
Applications on Windows Azure" as it can introduce instability. Can there
be a similar issue with multiple Azure virtual machines in the same
availability set?
Eventually we will upgrade application to use TimeZone API but would like
to change time-zone on virtual machines to quickly move our application to
Azure.
