I'm not 100% sure about the source of this work. However, we had in
KubeVirt people interested in using localtime with Windows [1]. Yes, I see
that you pointed to that PR in patch 2. The problem with that PR is the
migration. What happens if we migrate the VM to a host that is in another
timezone? Is it going to break the application running inside the VM?
I would generally expect all hosts to be configured in the same timezone,
for any given single cloud deployment.
If you really are concerned about this problem though, libvirt lets you
set this explicitly eg
<clock offset='localtime' timezone='Europe/London'/>
With regards,
Daniel
