Bug Description

the logging info in /var/log/cloud-init.log does not include a timezone offset:

2017-08-23 19:11:08,115 - util.py[DEBUG]: Attempting to remove /var/lib/cloud/instance

that causes a problem when cloud-init applies the timezone during boot it can appear
to jump forward or backward.

Hi Scott,
May I ask a question about this change, is there any document letting user know that cloud-init log always use UTC time except ChangeLog? I checked the online doc but didn't find any.

thanks,
Amy
