Always run production systems in the Etc/UTC timezone. This eliminates an entire class of problems while only creating minor inconveniences.

You can also run in UTC+$YOUR_OFFSET timezone if you don't use DST.

On the other hand, UTCx timezones are not silver bullets if your fleet is a part of a multi-continent federation.
