.. py:method:: EC2.Client.enable_image_block_public_access(**kwargs)

  

  Enables *block public access for AMIs* at the account level in the specified Amazon Web Services Region. This prevents the public sharing of your AMIs. However, if you already have public AMIs, they will remain publicly available.

   

  The API can take up to 10 minutes to configure this setting. During this time, if you run `GetImageBlockPublicAccessState <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_GetImageBlockPublicAccessState.html>`__, the response will be ``unblocked``. When the API has completed the configuration, the response will be ``block-new-sharing``.

   

  For more information, see `Block public access to your AMIs <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/block-public-access-to-amis.html>`__ in the *Amazon EC2 User Guide*.
