The question I get a lot is how can I study and learn better for my cloud computing exams, whether that is address solutions, architect exams, Google Cloud Architect and exams, whatever it is, how can we learn in new ways and prepare better? So this tip is for my auditory learners. So that is those who learn by learning and I'm one of those. So this is a tool I'm going to tell you about that is free and you can use it to condense. And summarize and take your learning notes and study guides and turn it into your very own learning podcast. I'm going to teach you about notebook LM podcast feature. So let's dive into our computer screen. OK, so here I am on my desktop now. For example, this is the Google Professional Cloud architecting study guide. It's the official guide. It is 319 pages long. That is a lot of information to read. I like listening to things and so how can we take this study guide, this 319 pages and turn it into a podcast? So. What you'll need to do is open up notebook alem. It is a free service and you just go to notebook LM dot Google and you can do it on your phone as well. There isn't an app but just go in your browser and then start it up. This is mine up Notebook Li have the plus version so I do pay. You don't have to, you can just use the free version. And basically create a new notebook and then add in your source. So my source is the study guide that I have. It is in a PDF, but you can add in other documents, you can add in public URLs, you can add in YouTube videos, whatever it is you want. If you want a another video on other uses of notebook LM, obviously you can do that. But for the purpose of this, we're going to do the podcast. So you're going to move over literally to the side where it says audio overview. And you can create a deep dive conversation between two hosts. And this is basically an AI podcast of that 319 page document. So learning by hearing. So let's generate it now. Again, because it's 319 pages long, it probably will take maybe about 3 minutes, but I'll skip to the end. It's amazing, isn't it? Cloud computing? I mean, how it's gone from like this kind of far off tech thing to being, well, everywhere, right? You know? Depending almost everything we do online. Yeah, no question. It's been a whirlwind, that's for sure. But that rapid growth, well, it's kind of a double by orchestrator. A perfect analogy. GKE is your managed Kubernetes service. It takes all the complexity out of running and orchestrating those containers. It handles things like resource allocation, making sure you're containers have the CPU and memory they need, automated health checks, making sure your containers are running smoothly, and it even manages the. And of course, you can download. It as well, so if then you can put it on your computer, on your phone, listen to it while you walking the dog and a new way to learn for your exam. So there we have it. You can basically create your own study podcast based on the material that you give it. So give it your study guides, your notes, whatever it is that you're using. Anything else, let me know.
