Hello kkopsmirpur,

Make sure that you’re using the right machine which contains the etcdctl. Not all labs contain the etcdctl tool. try to use this lab Udemy Labs - Certified Kubernetes Administrator with Practice Tests - KodeKloud

Hello @kkopsmirpur ,
You can’t discuss on the official exam. It’s against the NDA.
If you faced any technical issues during the exam then please create a ticket for this.

You need to use the certs given in the exam.
