az aks maintenanceconfiguration - Daylight Savings?

[PehrGit]

Hi,

We would like to use AKS Maintenance Configurations to do maintenance between 02:00 and 04:00 in our local time zone (CET/CEST). However, we can only specify timeslots in UTC. Is there any guidance on how to do this?

Could we specify 2 separate MaintenanceConfigurations for the winter and summer, like so?
Winter:

{
  "timeInWeek": [
    {
      "day": "Tuesday",
      "hour_slots": [
        1,
        2
      ]
    }
  ],
  "notAllowedTime": [
    {
      "start": "2022-03-27T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2022-10-30T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Summer:

{
  "timeInWeek": [
    {
      "day": "Tuesday",
      "hour_slots": [
        0,
        1
      ]
    }
  ],
  "notAllowedTime": [
     {
      "start": "2021-10-31T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2022-03-27T00:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "start": "2022-10-30T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2023-03-26T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Or would these cancel each other out?

@PehrGit Apologies for the late reply. Planned Maintenance windows are specified in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Please refer this for more info. Please let me know if you have any further questions on this. Awaiting your reply.

@navba-MSFT Hi, I saw your comment. It's clear to me how it currently works so the question can be considered asked and answered. However it would be very nice if we could specify it in our local timezone, as requested here Azure/AKS#2014 (comment)
