 Accepted values are: [AWS regions](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/amazon-aws/#amazon-aws), [AZURE regions](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/microsoft-azure/#microsoft-azure) and [GCP regions](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/google-gcp/#std-label-google-gcp)
+* `timeouts`- (Optional) The duration of time to wait for Private Endpoint to be created or deleted. The timeout value is definded by a signed sequence of decimal numbers with an time unit suffix such as: `1h45m`, `300s`, `10m`, .... The valid time units are:  `ns`, `us` (or `µs`), `ms`, `s`, `m`, `h`. The default timeout for Private Endpoint create & delete is `1h`.
