5. Configure VPC endpoint parameters.

   Table 1 VPC endpoint parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Region	Specifies the region where the VPC endpoint is to be located. Resources in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. For lower latency and quicker access, select the nearest region.
   Service Category	There are two options: 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. In this example, select 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 the O&M personnel and you can directly use it. Select the VPC endpoint service for OBS.
   VPC	Specifies the VPC where the VPC endpoint is to be deployed.
   Tag	This parameter is optional. Specifies the VPC endpoint tag, which consists of a key and a value. You can add up to 10 tags to each VPC endpoint. Tag keys and values must meet requirements listed in Table 2.

   Table 2 Tag requirements for VPC endpoints
