Something that drives me crazy about the big public clouds is that everything is US regional defaults with - if you’re lucky - UTC as the time zone. We’ve spent easily several months of engineering time “fixing” apps that kept picking up these defaults directly or indirectly. E.g.: What regional options does Azure Data Factory use for parsing CSV by default for batch jobs if you deploy an instance in Australia East? Your guess is as good as mine! It’s especially hilarious considering that all three major operating systems ask these questions up front, just as they as for a password instead of providing a result. Vendors have had to learn the hard way that defaults for some settings are nonsense for 96% of the planet, and now the same companies have forgotten this lesson and will have to learn it all over again.
