   ```
   hostPath:
               path: /etc/localtime
               type: File
             name: localtime
   ```
   
   This part of code mounts the host's /etc/localtime to the pod. Quoted from the doc:
   > If the TZ environment variable does not have a value, the operation chooses a time zone by default. In the GNU C Library, the default time zone is like the specification ‘TZ=:/etc/localtime’ (or ‘TZ=:/usr/local/etc/localtime’, depending on how the GNU C Library was configured; see Installation). Other C libraries use their own rule for choosing the default time zone, so there is little we can say about them.

   ```
   containers:
           - env:
               - name: TZ
                 value: "Asia/Shanghai"
   ```
   I think we should remove this, since it is bad idea to hard code timezone. 
   @membphis @gxthrj What about your guys' opinion?
