An organization uses one specific CloudHub (AWS) region for all CloudHub deployments.
How are CloudHub workers assigned to availability zones (AZs) when the organization's
Mule applications are deployed to CloudHub in that region?


A.

Workers belonging to a given environment are assigned to the same AZ within that region


B.

AZs are selected as part of the Mule application's deployment configuration


C.

Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region


D.

An AZ is randomly selected for a Mule application, and all the Mule application's CloudHub workers are assigned to that one AZ





D.
  

An AZ is randomly selected for a Mule application, and all the Mule application's CloudHub workers are assigned to that one AZ



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region.
*****************************************
>> Currently, we only have control to choose which AWS Region to choose but there is no
control at all using any configurations or deployment options to decide what Availability
Zone (AZ) to assign to what worker.
>> There are NO fixed or implicit rules on platform too w.r.t assignment of AZ to workers
based on environment or application.
>> They are completely assigned in random. However, cloudhub definitely ensures that
HA is achieved by assigning the workers to more than on AZ so that all workers are not
assigned to same AZ for same application.

A developer from the Central IT team has created an initial version of the RAML definition in Design Center for an OAuth 2.0-protected System API and published it to Exchange. Another developer from LoB IT discovered the System API in Exchange and would like to leverage it in the Process API. What is the MuleSoft-recommended approach for Process API to invoke the System API?


A. The Process API needs to import an CAuth 2.0 module from Exchange first and update it with OAuth 2.0 credentials before the System API can be invoked


B. The Process API uses property YAML files to store the System API URLs and uses the HTTP Request Connector to invoke the Systerm API


C. The Process APL uses the REST Connect Connector autogenerated in Exchange for the System API


D. The Process API manually updates the Process API POM file to include the System API as a dependency





C.
  The Process APL uses the REST Connect Connector autogenerated in Exchange for the System API

Explanation:
In MuleSoft’s ecosystem, when a Process API needs to consume a System API (published to Exchange and protected by OAuth 2.0), the recommended approach is to utilize the REST Connect Connector. Here’s how it aligns with best practices:

  • Automated Connector Generation:
  • Streamlined Integration:
  • Why Option C is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
For more information on using REST Connect Connectors and OAuth integration in MuleSoft, refer to the MuleSoft documentation on API Management and Connectors.

When should idempotency be taken into account?


A. When making requests to update currently locked entities


B. When storing the results of s previous request for use in response to subsequent requests


C. When sending concurrent update requests for the same entity


D. When preventing duplicate processing from multiple sent requests





D.
  When preventing duplicate processing from multiple sent requests

A Mule application exposes an HTTPS endpoint and is deployed to the CloudHub Shared Worker Cloud. All traffic to that Mule application must stay inside the AWS VPC. To what TCP port do API invocations to that Mule application need to be sent?


A.

443


B.

8081


C.

8091


D.

8082





D.
  

8082



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: 8082
*****************************************
>> 8091 and 8092 ports are to be used when keeping your HTTP and HTTPS app private
to the LOCAL VPC respectively.
>> Above TWO ports are not for Shared AWS VPC/ Shared Worker Cloud.
>> 8081 is to be used when exposing your HTTP endpoint app to the internet through
Shared LB
>> 8082 is to be used when exposing your HTTPS endpoint app to the internet through
Shared LB
So, API invocations should be sent to port 8082 when calling this HTTPS based app.

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: XML over HTTP
*****************************************
>> API-led connectivity and Application Networks urge to have the APIs on HTTP based
protocols for building most effective APIs and networks on top of them.
>> The HTTP based APIs allow the platform to apply various varities of policies to address
many NFRs
>> The HTTP based APIs also allow to implement many standard and effective
implementation patterns that adhere to HTTP based w3c rules

Version 3.0.1 of a REST API implementation represents time values in PST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. The API implementation needs to be changed to instead represent time values in CEST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. When following the semver.org semantic versioning specification, what version should be assigned to the updated API implementation?


A.

3.0.2


B.

4.0.0


C.

3.1.0


D.

3.0.1





B.
  

4.0.0



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: 4.0.0
*****************************************
As per semver.org semantic versioning specification:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner.
- PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
As per the scenario given in the question, the API implementation is completely changing
its behavior. Although the format of the time is still being maintained as hh:mm:ss and there
is no change in schema w.r.t format, the API will start functioning different after this change
as the times are going to come completely different.
Example: Before the change, say, time is going as 09:00:00 representing the PST. Now on,
after the change, the same time will go as 18:00:00 as Central European Summer Time is
9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
>> This may lead to some uncertain behavior on API clients depending on how they are
handling the times in the API response. All the API clients need to be informed that the API
functionality is going to change and will return in CEST format. So, this considered as a
MAJOR change and the version of API for this new change would be 4.0.0

Refer to the exhibit. An organization needs to enable access to their customer data from
both a mobile app and a web application, which each need access to common fields as
well as certain unique fields.
The data is available partially in a database and partially in a 3rd-party CRM system.
What APIs should be created to best fit these design requirements?



A.

Option A


B.

Option B


C.

Option C


D.

Option D





C.
  

Option C



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Separate Experience APIs for the mobile and web app, but a common
Process API that invokes separate System APIs created for the database and CRM system
*****************************************
As per MuleSoft's API-led connectivity:

>> Experience APIs should be built as per each consumer needs and their experience.
>> Process APIs should contain all the orchestration logic to achieve the business
functionality.
>> System APIs should be built for each backend system to unlock their data.

What is true about automating interactions with Anypoint Platform using tools such as Anypoint Platform REST APIs, Anypoint CU, or the Mule Maven plugin?


A.

Access to Anypoint Platform APIs and Anypoint CU can be controlled separately through the roles and permissions in Anypoint Platform, so that specific users can get access to Anypoint CLI white others get access to the platform APIs


B.

Anypoint Platform APIs can ONLY automate interactions with CloudHub, while the Mule Maven plugin is required for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes


C.

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications


D.

API policies can be applied to the Anypoint Platform APIs so that ONLY certain LOBs have access to specific functions





C.
  

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in
the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our
custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.
>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub
and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is
FALSE.
>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule
runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory
requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.
>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately
control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform
APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can
use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is
FALSE.
Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that - Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin
are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule
applications.
Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development.
CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.
These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or
automation.
