<p> NTP and Chrony are not going to do anything with your
timezone... They merely make sure that your clock is accurate and
in sync with the time source. The /etc/localtime on Debian systems
points to the proper zone info that sets your timezone setting
system wide. It's configured via the tzselect command. CentOS is
going to have a similar means of configuring your systems
timezone. This is what will make your timezone persist between
reboots.</p>
<p> Personally I keep all my servers in UTC and only
laptop/desktop computers are set to an actual local timezone.<br>
