az aks maintenanceconfiguration - Daylight Savings?

Hi,

We would like to use AKS Maintenance Configurations to do maintenance between 02:00 and 04:00 in our local time zone (CET/CEST). However, we can only specify timeslots in UTC. Is there any guidance on how to do this?

Could we specify 2 separate MaintenanceConfigurations for the winter and summer, like so? Winter:

{
  "timeInWeek": [
    {
      "day": "Tuesday",
      "hour_slots": [
        1,
        2
      ]
    }
  ],
  "notAllowedTime": [
    {
      "start": "2022-03-27T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2022-10-30T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Summer:

{
  "timeInWeek": [
    {
      "day": "Tuesday",
      "hour_slots": [
        0,
        1
      ]
    }
  ],
  "notAllowedTime": [
     {
      "start": "2021-10-31T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2022-03-27T00:00:00Z"
    },
    {
      "start": "2022-10-30T00:00:00Z",
      "end": "2023-03-26T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Or would these cancel each other out?

@Azure/aks-pm can you give an update on the state of this issue? My team wanted to use this feature, but are running into the same problem of being unable to configure the timezone to avoid daylight saving issues.
