How To: Set Azure App Service Time Zone

18th July 2019 / Shane Bartholomeusz / 1 Comment

Background

We recently migrated a legacy .NET web service running on-premise to an Azure App Service. During testing we identified an issue with DateTime translations. Our application had a reference to DateTime.Now.

Previously, our app was running on-premise and therefore using Western Australia Standard Time (+8). However, following the migration to Azure, it was using UTC time by default, so we therefore needed to change the default time zone configuration.

In this post I’ll explain how you can update the time zone of your Azure App Service.
