Hi Chris, I just finished the CKA. Do I need to focus more and repeat the course, or should I move on to testing myself with mock exams?

[@ChrisMatcham]

Hey, if I'm understanding correctly, you've just finished a CKA course 🎉 awesome. In my opinion, hitting the labs and working on the console, becoming familiar with the commands and building some yaml configurations would be my suggestion. killercoda.com/ is a good one.

Thanks for the video 😊. One quick questions, External monitor allowed? you were using mac 14'' ?

[@ChrisMatcham]

No problem. YES, you can use an external monitor. The rule is "one active monitor". So it would require you to close the lid on your Mac/laptop (Mac requires that you have a power supply to run with lid closed. And also update settings for lid closed behavior) Yes I took on a 14" Mac, not impossible but an external monitor would have been helpful.
