Microsoft Azure App Service - Set TimeZone for your web application

Azure App Service is a cloud app service that integrates everything you need to quickly and easily build web and mobile apps for any platform or device.

Usually the application would be run on Internet Information Services (IIS) and take the time of the server hosting the application.

In one of my recent migration, we had a web application hosted on IIS that was being migrated to Windows Azure.

This application uses DateTime.Now to display current time and sql time. Once the application was moved to the cloud we notice a timezone offset. The Azure App Service time was based on UTC (GMT 0).

In order to resolve this issue and set the timezone on the app service. You can change the App Settings via the Azure Portal of the web application.

To do so:

• Log-in to your Azure Portal
• Click on your App Service
• Click on Application Settings
