- Create a new CloudFormation template and add the following Parameter to it:
Parameters: DomainName: Description: Your domain name (example.org) Type: String
- Next we need to add a HostedZone resource to our template, as follows:
Resources: DNSHostedZone: Type: AWS::Route53::HostedZone Properties: Name: !Ref DomainName
- You're now ready to go ahead and create your hosted zone in Route 53. You can do so via the CloudFormation web console, or use the following CLI command:
aws cloudformation create-stack \ --stack-name example-hosted-zone \ --template-body file://07-hosting-a-domain.yaml \ --parameters \ ParameterKey=DomainName,ParameterValue=<your-domain-name>
