Hello,

I have a openstack cluster. And the local time of server is different from UTC.

I saw that the log date of openstack service is local time. But when I use the command line to query the openstack service status, time zone is UTC. Such as `opentack compute service list`, "Update At" is UTC.

In the email archive[1], I saw that there was a discussion earlier:
> i would guess it a deliberate design descisn to only store data information in utc format and leave it to the clinets to convert to local timezones if desired

But at that time it was just a guess, I would like to ask if this is the meaning of the original design, why the service use UTC instead of local time?

I would appreciate any kind of guidance or help.
Best wishes.
