Warning
We strongly recommend that you use the same time zone for the primary and secondary instance in a failover group. Because of certain rare use cases keeping the same time zone across primary and secondary instances isn't enforced. It's important to understand that in the case of manual or automatic failover, the secondary instance will retain its original time zone.
