Tuning the Linux operating system time zone-CENTOS7

If your Linux system time zone is not configured correctly, you will need to manually adjust to the correct local time zone. NTP's synchronous processing of time only calculates the local time offset from UTC time, so configuring an NTP to synchronize time does not resolve the problem of the incorrect time zone. So when you use a foreign cloud service provider such as Microsoft Azure or other VPS, virtual machines, you need to be aware of the same time zone in mainland China
