   Table 1 Required parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Region	Specifies the region where the VPC endpoint is located. Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over internal networks. Select the nearest region for lower network latency and faster access to resources.
   Service Category	There are two options: Cloud services or Find a service by name. Cloud services: Select this value if the target VPC endpoint service is a cloud service. Find a service by name: Select this value if the target VPC endpoint service is a private service of your own. Example: Cloud services
   Service List	This parameter is available only when you select Cloud services for Service Category. The VPC endpoint service has been created by operations people and you can use it without having to perform the creation operation. Select the VPC endpoint service for OBS.
   VPC	Specifies the VPC where the VPC endpoint is located.
   Tag	This parameter is optional. Specifies the VPC endpoint tag, which consists of a key and a value. You can add a maximum of 10 tags to each VPC endpoint. Tag keys and values must meet requirements listed in Table 2.
