Mirco Cloud Foundry - Set the Local Timezone

Would you like your Mirco Cloud Foundry to use a local timezone instead of UTC? Hopefully this propagates to the default timestamp display of whatever programming language you are using.  I wanted this for a Java application I've been playing around with.  Here are the simple steps I used.

1) Log in to Micro Cloud Foundry using the IP Address displayed on the console as root using the password you supplied when setting up MCF.
ssh root@192.168.129.139
2) Run the dpkg-reconfigure command to select your timezone
root@micro:~# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
You should get an ASCII-GUI that let's you select the timezone.


When finished you should see output like this:
Current default time zone: 'America/Los_Angeles'
Local time is now:      Sun Mar 25 13:01:18 PDT 2012.
Universal Time is now:  Sun Mar 25 20:01:18 UTC 2012. 
root@micro:~# date
Sun Mar 25 13:01:30 PDT 2012
3) Restart your applications.

Once I restarted the Java application, this time it picked up the local timezone as the default
toString()
output for a
java.util.Date
instead of the UTC timezone.

Nowadays, many cloud storage vendors are using advance data encryption techniques, antivirus scanning procedures, data backup techniques, and other security solutions that a personal computing environment cannot offer. By keeping important data in the data room services, you can save it from all the major threats such as environmental threats, unauthorized users, technical failures and malicious software.

New technologies are being created in response to this threat, both to negate data security risk and improve the digital customer experience.
