What CANNOT be effectively enforced using an API policy in Anypoint Platform?


A.

Guarding against Denial of Service attacks


B.

Maintaining tamper-proof credentials between APIs


C.

Logging HTTP requests and responses


D.

Backend system overloading





A.
  

Guarding against Denial of Service attacks



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Guarding against Denial of Service attacks
*****************************************
>> Backend system overloading can be handled by enforcing "Spike Control Policy"
>> Logging HTTP requests and responses can be done by enforcing "Message Logging
Policy"
>> Credentials can be tamper-proofed using "Security" and "Compliance" Policies
However, unfortunately, there is no proper way currently on Anypoint Platform to guard
against DOS attacks.

An online store's marketing team has noticed an increase in customers leaving online baskets without checking out. They suspect a technology issue is at the root cause of the baskets being left behind. They approach the Center for Enablement to ask for help identifying the issue. Multiple APIs from across all the layers of their application network are involved in the shopping application. Which feature of the Anypoint Platform can be used to view metrics from all involved APIs at the same time?


A. Custom dashboards


B. Built-in dashboards


C. Functional monitoring


D. API Manager





B.
  Built-in dashboards

An enterprise is embarking on the API-led digital transformation journey, and the central IT team has started to define System APIs. Currently there is no Enterprise Data Model being defined within the enterprise, and the definition of a clean Bounded Context Data Model requires too much effort. According to MuleSoft's recommended guidelines, how should the System API data model be defined?


A. If there are misspellings of the data fields in the back-end system, Systerm APIs should not correct it, and expose it as-is to mirror the back-end systems


B. The data model of the System APIs should make use of data types that approximately mirror those from the back-end systems


C. The data model should define its own naming convention, and not follow the same naming as the back-end systems


D. The System APIs should expose all back-end system fields





B.
  The data model of the System APIs should make use of data types that approximately mirror those from the back-end systems

Explanation: When defining data models for System APIs without an established Enterprise Data Model, MuleSoft recommends mirroring the back-end systems' data types to achieve quick and effective integration without adding complexity. This approach has several benefits:

  • Alignment with Backend Systems:
  • Flexibility for Future Enhancements:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

A company deployed an API to a single worker/replica in the shared cloud in the U.S. West Region. What happens when the Availability Zone experiences an outage?


A. CloudHub will auto-redeploy the APL in the U.S. East Region


B. The APT will be unavailable until the availability comes back online, at which time the worker/replica will be auto-restarted


C. CloudHub will auto-redeploy the API in another Availability Zone in the U.S. West Region


D. The Anypoint Platform admin is alerted when the AP] is experiencing an outage and needs the trigger the CI/CD pipeline to redeploy to the US. East Region





B.
  The APT will be unavailable until the availability comes back online, at which time the worker/replica will be auto-restarted

Explanation:
In a CloudHub deployment with a single worker/replica located in a specific Availability Zone (AZ), if an AZ experiences an outage, here’s what happens:
Worker Availability: Since the application is deployed in a single AZ, CloudHub does not automatically redeploy the application in a different zone or region during an outage. Thus, if the current AZ is unavailable, the application will be offline.
Auto-Restart upon AZ Recovery: Once the affected AZ is back online, CloudHub will auto-restart the worker in the same AZ without manual intervention. This ensures that as soon as the AZ is functional, the application resumes automatically.

Which component monitors APIs and endpoints at scheduled intervals, receives reports about whether tests pass or fail, and displays statistics about API and endpoint performance?


A. API Analytics


B. Anypoint Monitoring dashboards


C. APT Functional Monitoring


D. Anypoint Runtime Manager alerts





C.
  APT Functional Monitoring

Explanation:

  • Understanding API Functional Monitoring:
  • Component Features:
  • Evaluating the Options:
Conclusion:
Refer to MuleSoft documentation on API Functional Monitoring for further guidance on setting up and configuring these tests in Anypoint Platform.

How can the application of a rate limiting API policy be accurately reflected in the RAML definition of an API?


A.

By refining the resource definitions by adding a description of the rate limiting policy behavior


B.

By refining the request definitions by adding a remaining Requests query parameter with description, type, and example


C.

By refining the response definitions by adding the out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform ratelimit-
enforcement securityScheme with description, type, and example


D.

By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response headers with
description, type, and example





D.
  

By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response headers with
description, type, and example



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response
headers with description, type, and example

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.

A Platinum customer uses the U.S. control plane and deploys applications to CloudHub in Singapore with a default log configuration. The compliance officer asks where the logs and monitoring data reside?


A. Logs are held in: Singapore and monitoring data is held in the United States


B. Logs and monitoring data are held in the United States


C. Logs are held in the United States and monitoring data is held in Singapore


D. Logs and monitoring data are held in Singapore





B.
  Logs and monitoring data are held in the United States

Explanation:
For applications deployed on CloudHub in a foreign region (e.g., Singapore), MuleSoft handles log and monitoring data in the region where the control plane resides. This data storage policy is standard for CloudHub deployments to maintain centralized log and monitoring data.
