Prepare a CloudFormation template using the following components:

1. Start the template with the template version and a description (optional).
2. We will define a Parameters section, to accept a comma-separated list of domain name aliases:

Parameters:
  DomainNameAliases:
    Description: Domain name aliases for your website (quizzercloud.com,www.quizzercloud.com)
    Type: CommaDelimitedList

3. In the Resources section, we will define our CloudFront distribution:

Resources:
  MyCloudFrontDistribution:
    Type: AWS::CloudFront::Distribution
    Properties:
      DistributionConfig:
        Origins:
        - DomainName: quizzer.cloud.s3.amazonaws.com
          Id: myS3Origin
          S3OriginConfig:
            OriginAccessIdentity: ''
        Enabled: 'true'
        Comment: 'CloudFront Distribution with Domain'
        DefaultRootObject: index.html
        Aliases: !Ref DomainNameAliases
        DefaultCacheBehavior:
          TargetOriginId: myS3Origin
          ForwardedValues:
            QueryString: 'false'
            Cookies:
              Forward: none
          ViewerProtocolPolicy: allow-all

Note that we can reference the parameter DomainNameAliases as a list.

4. We will also create an Outputs section, to return the CloudFront distribution ID and the domain name. We will also export the domain name and then import it later, into our RecordSet stack:

Outputs:
  CloudFrontDistributionId:
    Value: !Ref MyCloudFrontDistribution
    Description: 'CloudFront distribution id'
  CloudFrontDomain:
    Value: !GetAtt MyCloudFrontDistribution.DomainName
    Description: 'CloudFront distribution domain name'
    Export:
      Name: CloudFrontDomainName

5. Create the stack. We will first create a JSON file to pass the parameter string, since passing a list through the CLI may require additional workarounds in a number of command prompts:

[
  {
    "ParameterKey": "DomainNameAliases",
    "ParameterValue": "quizzercloud.com,www.quizzercloud.com"
  }
]

Execute the stack, specifying the preceding parameters in JSON:

aws cloudformation create-stack 
    --stack-name mycloudfrontstackwithdomain 
    --template-body file://resources/create-cloud-front-distribution-with-domain.yml 
    --parameters file://resources/create-cloud-front-parameters.json 
    --region ap-south-1 
    --profile admin

After executing the create-stack command, check the status by using the describe-stacks sub-command. Once it has completed successfully, it should return a response with the following Outputs section:

Note that the complete describe-stacks output is not shown here, but only the Outputs section.
