oh thanks @Tej_Singh_Rana

Mahesh Shetty:
Also one more question… I’m preparing for CKAD certification and its my first certification in K8s. Do i need to finish CKA first then CKAD? asking for an opinion. @Tej_Singh_Rana

Matthew Robinson:
You don’t need to do CKA first. Which you do first really depends what your background is. If you are more of a sysadmin then maybe do CKA first, if you are a developer then do CKAD first. It really doesn’t matter though.
