for exam Exam AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions, It is mentioned that

"To become a Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert, you must earn at least one of the following: Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate, Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate certification."

I think, I am able to register directly for exam AZ-400. Is it mandatory to have perquisites certificate or is it nice to have? will there be any consequences if I don't complete prerequisites certificates

    HI,

    If you don't have one of the prerequisite certifications you will not earn DevOps Engineer Expert certification. You can pass AZ-104 or AZ-204 after passing AZ-400 if you want, but it must be within 1 year of passing AZ-400.
