Thanks for this docs link. That's helpful in understanding the versioning strategy.

I used the RC as an example, but I'm curious why they have been different.

Why do the SDK and packages have different version numbers for the .NET 10 RC? They are similar, but different.

10.0.100-rc.1.25451.107 (sdk)
10.0.0-rc.1.25451.107 (packages like Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi)

Great to meet you and thanks for the message. Good luck with the certifications. I hope the Getting Started videos help you on your #Azure journey.

Yeah, the Release Preview channel, but not the early adopters like Beta, Dev, or Canary.
