I am running several cronjobs on kubernetes cluster and want them to run on EDT timezone America/New_York. I would like to find out, how to ensure that my jobs run at specific EDT time. At present, all these jobs run with UTC timezone.

  • the POD images have been verified that they all have EDT timezone
  • can set manually timezone by going to each host machine/container

There was some suggestion on finding kubernetes controller and setting timezone on that particular host/container. I would appreciate,if someone can shed light on

a. How one can find kubernetes admin controller? b. How one can set timezone automatically on the container via command-line or yaml file

I came across following git repo and it helped me solve the problem

https://github.com/hiddeco/cronjobber

Overall, it allows one to set timezone along with cron job specification.
