## Periodic Jobs and Daylight Saving Time
Though Nomad supports configuring time_zone, we strongly recommend that periodic
jobs are specified with respect to UTC time_zone.
Daylight saving changes may cause jobs to run in times unexpected to operator: A
2.30am nightly job with `America/New_York` time zone will not run on the day
daylight saving time start; a 1.30am nightly job will run twice on the day
daylight saving time ends.

### Periodic Jobs and Daylight Saving Time
Nomad 0.11.2 fixed a long outstanding bug affecting periodic jobs that are
scheduled to run during daylight saving transition time.
Nomad 0.11.2 provides a more defined behvior: nomad evaluates the cron
expression with respect to specified time zone during transition. A 2.30am
nightly job with `America/New_York` time zone will not run on the day daylight
saving time start; similarly, a 1.30am nightly job will run twice on the day
daylight saving time ends.
## Nomad 0.11.0
### client.template: `vault_grace` deprecation
