Migrating WP website to Google Cloud & DNS propagating - Cloudflare

So, I have migrated my WP website from my shared hosting to google cloud servers. I've set up the static ip address, and edited my current A type record on cloudflare to that static IP address and CNAME record to my domain name. After a couple of hours I've tried to secure my website via an SSL certificate, via the SSH tool at google cloud, but it says:

Warning: The domain 'mydomain.com' resolves to a different IP address than 
the one detected for this machine, which is 'mystaticip'. Please fix its DNS 
entries or remove it.

How do I know if the new DNS records are applied or not? Is there a tool or something? When I go to my domain I can open the website. Not secured, but it works. How can I know if it is launching from my old hosting or from google cloud?

Switch from Proxied to DNS only and then setup your certificate. Enable Proxied after SSL is working correctly. Note: this issue will raise its head again when it is time to renew the certificate. – John Hanley
Thanks! What to do when the issue raises again? – Nabukodonosor
Follow the same steps. Your question does not shows exactly what you are doing. I am assuming you are using a Google Managed SSL certificate. There are other options such as Let's Encrypt and purchasing a certificate. In any event, you will have this problem again when it comes time to renew the certificate as the DNS settings must match the domain name/machine address. Cloudflare proxies, which means there is a proxy in the middle. – John Hanley
Can I set up an auto-renew ssl? – Nabukodonosor
And one more question. What should I do with those IPs starting with 69.90.x.x for cpanel, webdisk, webmail and so on? Should I just delete those A records? – Nabukodonosor

Just like what John said, you have to set it up first to DNS only, then you can check the records using this website.

For a more detailed information, you may want to check this instead.

Check if the IP is resolved from the old host or the Google IP: 35.x.x.x.
