time and timezone on container not the same as that on host

[Vedamurthy Joshi]

R4.0.1.0 27, Ubuntu 14.04

It is seen on multiple testbeds that the timestamp in the container is different from that on host.
Also, even though /etc/timezone is set as expected, date continues to show UTC

time and timezone on container not the same as that on host

Today time and timezone on container is same as host machine.
Earlier timezone was showing a default value Etc/UTC and time
on container and host machine was different. Now this code
shows the time and timezone same as that of host machine.

SM does not support kubernetes.
If you provision using SM it will work
