All the resources you want to create using Cloudformation should be within the resources section. This gives a better anatomy of the template, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/template-anatomy.html

The HostedZone should be inside the Resources section. 

"Parameters" : {

    "InstanceType" : {
    ...
    }

},

"Resources" : {

    "HostedZone" : {
    ... 
    },

    "ContainerInstance" : {
    ...
    },

    ...
}
