Hey everyone, I noticed that in Prefect cloud my deployment has the correct schedule I intended for but then noticed that the flow runs are executing at different times

We created this using `prefect.flows.deploy` from the Python SDK, and I am passing in `cron` for the schedule, but I assume that I also need to pass in *`schedule`* to specify the timezone?

you can provide a time zone on your deployment schedule, yeah. I haven't confirmed this yet but I think if all you're passing in is a cron expression it'd use UTC as the time zone

Cool, is there an example on using `schedules` to pass a timezone in using the SDK?

This is the description using that parameter

`schedules	Optional[List[MinimalDeploymentSchedule]]	A list of schedule objects defining when to execute runs of this deployment. Used to define multiple schedules or additional scheduling options like timezone.`

Actually, could this be it?

yep I was just typing that up
```from prefect import flow, get_run_logger
from prefect.client.schemas.schedules import CronSchedule

@flow
def parent():
    get_run_logger().info("Starting parent flow")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parent.deploy(
        schedules=[CronSchedule(cron="0 0 * * *", timezone="America/New_York")]
    )```
