Nowadays, EC2 is a popular cloud computing platform. If our server is running in Mumbai region and you are printing date on the server then see there is a UTC timestamp. Now you want to change it to IST so there are some basic steps.

Step1:- Run command

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Step 2:- Select geographic area

Step 3:- Select the city or region

You will see this output after running the command.

Enjoy your server.🤓
