I want to let my containers on Google Container Engine point to a static IP outside of my Container Engine cluster (namely my db). Is it possible for me to prevent the use of an /etc/hosts file or a self managed bind server, and use Google Cloud DNS so I can configure a domain name inside of my containers? How would I go about doing this?

1ok ... the container will use the regular resolver library ... so yes you can use google dns. – silviud Oct 06 '16 at 23:03

You can migrate to Cloud DNS using this guide. [1]
Compute Engine supports two types of external IP addresses [2]: Static external IP addresses and Ephemeral external IP addresses.
