+==== System Clock Configuration to use UTC/GMT Timezone ====
+For CentOS 7:
+http://8086.support/content/12/76/en/how-do-i-change-the-timezone-on-centos-7-to-utc.html
+CentOS 7 now includes a tool to change the timezone, to view your current timezone run the following command
+<code>
+timedatectl
+</code>
+To change this to UTC (or to any other timezone) run the following:
+<code>
+timedatectl set-timezone UTC
+</code>
+For previous RedHat/CentOS releases:
 On linux systems the system clock time zone should be set to UTC and ntpd should be running to keep the system clock synchronized.  Proper configuration is described below (you must have root access to perform these procedures)
