  from aliyunsdkecs.request.v20140526.DescribeRegionsRequest import DescribeRegionsRequest
  
  client = AcsClient(
      os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
      os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET'),
      '<region_id>'
  )
  
  request = DescribeRegionsRequest()
  # The timeout periods that you specify for a request object are used only for the current request.
  request.set_connect_timeout(10)
  request.set_read_timeout(15)

  import os
  
  from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient
  from aliyunsdkecs.request.v20140526.DescribeRegionsRequest import DescribeRegionsRequest
  
  # The timeout periods that you specify for an SDK client are used for all requests.
  client = AcsClient(
      os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
      os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET'),
      '<region_id>',
      connect_timeout=10, # Configure a timeout period for connection requests.
      timeout=15 # Configure a timeout period for read requests.
