Each cluster is in 2 zones (w/ gcloud --zone... --additional-zones...) Provisioned Federation API Server and Controller (1.4.4) based on Verified clusters were ready. Provisioned federated service & deployed backends into each of the cluster. Verified the federated services were created, and all of the regional LB were created, and verified all the LB IPs were working w/ direct requests. DNS provider updated DNS w/ most of the service/zone CNAME records. But A records did not complete. Further investigation for the log points to multiple entries in rrdata w/ the same IP due to the multi-zone deployment: I1029 19:24:24. 1 ] Have recordset <(clouddns) "buttonmasher-" type=CNAME rrdatas=["buttonmasher-"] ttl=180. Need recordset <(clouddns) "buttonmasher-" type=A rrdatas=["130.211.203.196" "130.211.203.196"] ttl=180I1029 19:24:24. 1 ] Existing recordset <(clouddns) "buttonmasher-" type=CNAME rrdatas=["buttonmasher-"] ttl=180is not equivalent to needed recordset <(clouddns) "buttonmasher-" type=A rrdatas=["130.211.203.196" "130.211.203.196"] ttl=180, removing existing and adding needed. After creating the clusters w/ only one zone, the DNS provider worked properly. What you expected to happen: Cloud DNS Provider should update the DNS record properly w/ multi-zone clusters. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): 3 x multi-zone clusters Federation API Server and Controller clusters in to federation federated service and backends Anything else do we need to know: Using GKE and Cloud DNS

Also hit this. Any workarounds?
Sorry, no direct workarounds available yet. You could convert your multi-zone clusters into multiple single-zone clusters, and federate all of those.
FYI, although I'm sure you're aware - also affects AWS multi AZ clusters (1.6.2)
This seems bad. I'll try to take a look into it.
