+### Service endpoints:
+      
+Considering network connectivities among different countries, it's highly recommended to set the service endpoint to the corresponding one described in our [official website](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/25489.htm). Default `endpoint` is `https://ecs-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com.`
+
+Usage:
+
+      $ export ECS_ENDPOINT="endpoint"
+
+Otherwise, you may encouter the following errors due to the network issue from other countries to the default endpoint.
+
+`Code: AliyunGoClientFailure Message: Get https://ecs-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com?xx: net/http: TLS handshake timeout`
