ISSUE

I am trying to setup my UTC CRON job in my Azure Function App to run based on EST/EDT timezone.

My thought is that you enter in your CRON time for your desired timezone, and then via the Azure portal set the configuration option WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE to America/New_York (see image that shows Azure Function is running Linux and not Windows).

According to the below, 08:30 UTC should be 04:30 EDT currently. So that is when I am expecting the monitor to run. It is still running via the CRON job at 08:30 UTC instead of 08:30 Eastern time (04:30 EDT).

As per July 2022, this is not supported for Linux Function App running on a consumption plan (see documentation):

WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE is not currently supported on the Linux Consumption plan.

According to Microsoft-Documentation it says,

In configuration add app settings WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE and set value to America/New_York

WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE is not currently supported on the Linux Consumption plan.

Then save it

Output:

You get the desired output in Desired Time Zone
