#23636 Changes to global.timezone helm value (Genus and Genus Operator)

If the global.timezone helm value is specified in any of your helm value files, you will need to change this value in Genus 11.0, and Genus Operator 7.0.

We are moving from a volumeMount to an environment variable approach to setting the timezone in the containers.

This means that were you before specified the path to the file specifying the timezone, now you must set the time zone code. This means that if it says global.timezone: "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Oslo" now, you should change it to global.timezone: "Europe/Oslo"..

Europe/Oslo is the default value. If this is your local timezone, you can delete it from your helm value files.
