region	Yes	String	Region where a dedicated engine is to be created. Its value is EU-DE.
available_zone	Yes	String	AZ where the dedicated engine is to be created.
arch	Yes	String	Dedicated engine CPU architecture. Its value has to be x86.
instancename	Yes	String	Prefix of the dedicated WAF engine name, which is user-defined.
specification	Yes	String	Specifications of the dedicated engine version. The value can be waf.instance.enterprise or waf.instance.professional. waf.instance.professional: WI-100. Performance: 100 Mbit/s of throughput and 2,000 QPS. waf.instance.enterprise: WI-500. Performance: 500 Mbit/s of throughput and 10,000 QPS.
cpu_flavor	Yes	String	ECS specifications and the dedicated WAF instance specifications. You can view details about the supported specifications on the WAF console.
vpc_id	Yes	String	ID of the VPC where the dedicated engine is located. It can be obtained by calling the ListVpcs API.
subnet_id	Yes	String	ID of the VPC subnet where the dedicated engine is located. It can be obtained by calling the ListSubnets API. subnet_id has the same value as network_id obtained by calling the OpenStack APIs
security_group	Yes	Array of strings	ID of the security group where the dedicated engine is located. It can be obtained by calling the ListSecurityGroups API.
