This cookbook has been designed to provide LWRP for your own infrastructure recipes. Load this cookbook by your chef-client either by adding the line depends 'timezone_lwrp' to your infrastructure cookbook's metadata.rb file.

But if you want 'good old' attribute-based configuration you may just add recipe[timezone_lwrp] to your run_list and set ['tz'] attribute to a desired timezone.

This resource sets the timezone by editing /etc/timezone file and running dpkg-reconfigure afterwards.

timezone 'Europe/Moscow'
