You can create hosted zones with CloudFormation templates by using the resource type AWS::Route53::HostedZone:

Resources:
  CloudMaterialsHostedZone:
    Type: "AWS::Route53::HostedZone"
    Properties:
      HostedZoneConfig:
        Comment: HostedZone for CloudMaterials.com
      Name: cloudmaterials.com

We will also add an Outputs section, for returning the HostedZoneID and nameservers:

Outputs:
  HostedZoneId:
    Value: !Ref CloudMaterialsHostedZone
    Description: HostedZone for cloudmaterials.com
  HostedZoneNameservers:
    Value: !Join
      - ','
      - !GetAtt CloudMaterialsHostedZone.NameServers
    Description: HostedZone Nameservers for cloudmaterials.com

The value of an Outputs field can only be of the string type. The property Nameservers, however, returns a list of nameservers. Therefore, we need to use a join function to add them to a string, separated by ,.

Deploy the stack by using deploy-stack, and verify it by using describe-stacks. You can also verify this from the Route 53 dashboard in the AWS Management Console. The Outputs section of the response should appear as follows:

You can now configure these nameservers with your domain registrar.
