Subdomain on separate account in cpanel what about Route 53 zones

Question

I have **domain.com** and  **sudomain.domain.com**  in cpanel  
I am going to use Route 53 but what about Hosted zones?  
  
Do I need to create two hosted zones ?  
  
As these in cpanel account have two different zones does it not make sense  
to do the same here ?  
  
If I have to put the subdomain dns into one zone as main then is there any tool to merge them?  
I tried but I get errors

Hi,  
  
Technically, you **can** create a separate hosted zone for a subdomain, but for most folks it imposes unnecessary complexity. Here's the simplest way to route internet traffic for a domain and subdomain:  
  
1. Create a hosted zone for the domain. See "Creating a Public Hosted Zone" in the _Route 53 Developer Guide_:  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/CreatingHostedZone.html  
  
2. Create a record for domain.com. See "Creating Records by Using the Amazon Route 53 Console":  
  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-creating.html  
  
3. Create a record for subdomain.domain.com. In the Route 53 console, the default name for a record is the name of the hosted zone, so all you type in the **Name** field is the subdomain part of the name.
