Business Impact: When deploying App Engine Services across regions with different timezones, troubleshooting and reproduction of exceptions caused on the transition from 12:00 pm to 0:00 am represent a formidable testing/development bottleneck as it demands human interaction outside regular business hours. This results in development slow-down and reduced productivity due to the short timespan available.
Reproduction Steps: Not reproducible programmatically. The focus of this request is to allow App Engine to deploy in a controled Sandbox exclusively for testing where it would allow a flexible modification of Env_Variables other than the ones referenced here [1] for all supported Runtimes. Specially, an environment variable that would allow specifying date/time with timezone instead of the default App Engine clock using UTC as described here [2].
