A manufacturing company has deployed an API implementation to CloudHub and has not configured it to be automatically restarted by CloudHub when the worker is not responding. Which statement is true when no API Client invokes that API implementation?


A. No alert on the API invocations and APT implementation can be raised


B. Alerts on the APT invocation and API implementation can be raised


C. No alert on the API invocations is raised but alerts on the API implementation can be raised


D. Alerts on the API invocations are raised but no alerts on the API implementation can be raised





C.
  No alert on the API invocations is raised but alerts on the API implementation can be raised

Explanation:
When an API implementation is deployed on CloudHub without configuring automatic restarts in case of worker non-responsiveness, MuleSoft’s monitoring and alerting behavior is as follows:

  • API Invocation Alerts:
  • Implementation-Level Alerts:
  • Why Option C is Correct:

An IT Security Compliance Auditor is assessing which nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) are already being implemented to meet security measures.

  • The Web API has Rate-Limiting SLA
  • Basic Authentication - LDAP
  • JSON Threat Protection
  • TP Allowlist policies applied
Which two NFRs-are enforced?


A. The API invocations are coming from a known subnet range


B. Username/password supported to validate login credentials


C. Sensitive data is masked to prevent compromising critical information


D. The API is protected against XML invocation attacks


E. Performance expectations are to be allowed up to 1,000 requests per second





A.
  The API invocations are coming from a known subnet range

B.
  Username/password supported to validate login credentials

A TemperatureSensors API instance is defined in API Manager in the PROD environment of the CAR_FACTORY business group. An AcmelemperatureSensors Mule application implements this API instance and is deployed from Runtime Manager to the PROD environment of the CAR_FACTORY business group. A policy that requires a valid client ID and client secret is applied in API Manager to the API instance.
Where can an API consumer obtain a valid client ID and client secret to call the AcmeTemperatureSensors Mule application?


A. In secrets manager, request access to the Shared Secret static username/password


B. In API Manager, from the PROD environment of the CAR_FACTORY business group


C. In access management, from the PROD environment of the CAR_FACTORY business group


D. In Anypoint Exchange, from an API client application that has been approved for the TemperatureSensors API instance





D.
  In Anypoint Exchange, from an API client application that has been approved for the TemperatureSensors API instance

Explanation:
When an API policy requiring a client ID and client secret is applied to an API instance in API Manager, API consumers must obtain these credentials through a registered client application. Here’s how it works:

  • Anypoint Exchange and Client Applications:
  • Why Option D is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

An operations team is analyzing the effort needed to set up monitoring of their application network. They are looking at which API invocation metrics can be used to identify and predict trouble without having to write custom scripts or install additional analytics software or tools. Which type of metrics can satisfy this goal of directly identifying and predicting failures?


A. The number and types of API policy violations per day


B. The effectiveness of the application network based on the level of reuse


C. The number and types of past API invocations across the application network


D. The ROI from each APT invocation





A.
  The number and types of API policy violations per day

Explanation:
To monitor an application network and predict issues without custom scripts, policy violation metrics are critical. They provide insights into potential problems by tracking instances where API usage does not conform to defined policies. Here’s why this approach is suitable:

  • Predictive Monitoring:
  • No Custom Scripting Needed:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

An API implementation is deployed to CloudHub.
What conditions can be alerted on using the default Anypoint Platform functionality, where
the alert conditions depend on the end-to-end request processing of the API
implementation?


A.

When the API is invoked by an unrecognized API client


B.

When a particular API client invokes the API too often within a given time period


C.

When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold


D.

When the API receives a very high number of API invocations





C.
  

When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold
*****************************************
>> Alerts can be setup for all the given options using the default Anypoint Platform
functionality
>> However, the question insists on an alert whose conditions depend on the end-to-end
request processing of the API implementation.
>> Alert w.r.t "Response Times" is the only one which requires end-to-end request
processing of API implementation in order to determine if the threshold is exceeded or not.

An organization has built an application network following the API-led connectivity approach recommended by MuleSoft. To protect the application network against attacks from malicious external API clients, the organization plans to apply JSON Threat Protection policies. To which API-led connectivity layer should the JSON Threat Protection policies most commonly be applied?


A. All layers


B. System layer


C. Process layer


D. Experience layer





D.
  Experience layer

A customer has an ELA contract with MuleSoft. An API deployed to CloudHub is consistently experiencing performance issues. Based on the root cause analysis, it is determined that autoscaling needs to be applied. How can this be achieved?


A. Configure a policy so that when the number of HTTP requests reaches a certain threshold the number of workers/replicas increases (horizontal scaling)


B. Configure two separate policies: When CPU and memory reach certain threshold, increase the worker/replica type (vertical sealing) and the number of workers/replicas (horizontal sealing)


C. Configure a policy based on CPU usage so that CloudHub auto-adjusts the number of workers/replicas (horizontal scaling)


D. Configure a policy so that when the response time reaches a certain threshold the worker/replica type increases (vertical scaling)





C.
  Configure a policy based on CPU usage so that CloudHub auto-adjusts the number of workers/replicas (horizontal scaling)

Explanation:
In MuleSoft CloudHub, autoscaling is essential to managing application load efficiently. CloudHub supports horizontal scaling based on CPU usage, which is wellsuited to applications experiencing variable demand and needing responsive resource allocation.

  • Autoscaling on CloudHub:
  • Why Option C is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
