Publish the tagging dictionary - AWS Prescriptive Guidance

Publish the tagging dictionary

Sharing the tagging dictionary provides an opportunity for comments and feedback from customer teams and the stakeholders. To encourage participation in the tagging dictionary review, use internal wikis, documentation, all-hands meetings, and email announcements.

For example, you can publish the dictionary in your wiki (or knowledge management system) with the acceptable values that need to be applied to all resources provisioned in all AWS accounts.
