AWS cfn resource creation failed for recordset - amazon-web-services

Question

I wanted to deploy a static website using cloudformation but I am having issues creating the record set. The stack creation was successful until the hosted zone in resource section. I'm not sure why there is an issue creating the record set for a hosted zone.
Error: The following resource(s) failed to create: [RecordSet].

You're missing the Type: A property, you have to replace HosteZoneName by HostedZoneId. Also, remove Region it has no use in Route53 which is global.
