If I provision a server and I know it's in the Europe/Berlin timezone, it would be nice to be able to set a variable for that and have ansible set that timezone. On Ubuntu 16.04 and other systems that use systemd, this should use probably use timedatectl. Example:

# timedatectl set-timezone `Europe/Berlin`

See someone's ansible command that probably works:

- name: Set TimeZone in /etc/localtime
  command: /usr/bin/timedatectl set-timezone America/Chicago
See someone's [ansible command that probably works](https://github.com/maxamillion/ansible-maxamillion.sh/blob/master/roles/common/tasks/timedatectl.yml): ``` - name: Set TimeZone in /etc/localtime command: /usr/bin/timedatectl set-timezone America/Chicago ```

Might want to look into this for Ubuntu 16.04, @oguya.

Actually, I'm not sure if "regular" Ubuntu 16.04 server installs start systemd's NTP client service by default, but Linode and Digital Ocean instances do. Maybe starting the service isn't necessary actually.
