A company wants to move its Mule API implementations into production as quickly as
possible. To protect access to all Mule application data and metadata, the company
requires that all Mule applications be deployed to the company's customer-hosted
infrastructure within the corporate firewall. What combination of runtime plane and control
plane options meets these project lifecycle goals?


A.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


B.

MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


C.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane


D.

iPaaS provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane





A.
  

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane



Explanation:
Explanation
Correct Answer: Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane
*****************************************
There are two key factors that are to be taken into consideration from the scenario given in
the question.
>> Company requires both data and metadata to be resided within the corporate firewall
>> Company would like to go with customer-hosted infrastructure.
Any deployment model that is to deal with the cloud directly or indirectly (Mulesoft-hosted
or Customer's own cloud like Azure, AWS) will have to share atleast the metadata.
Application data can be controlled inside firewall by having Mule Runtimes on customer
hosted runtime plane. But if we go with Mulsoft-hosted/ Cloud-based control plane, the
control plane required atleast some minimum level of metadata to be sent outside the
corporate firewall.
As the customer requirement is pretty clear about the data and metadata both to be within
the corporate firewall, even though customer wants to move to production as quickly as
possible, unfortunately due to the nature of their security requirements, they have no other
option but to go with manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane.

What do the API invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform provide?


A.

ROI metrics from APIs that can be directly shared with business users


B.

Measurements of the effectiveness of the application network based on the level of reuse


C.

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs


D.

Proactive identification of likely future policy violations that exceed a given threat
threshold





C.
  

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage
patterns across various APIs
*****************************************
API Invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform:
>> Does NOT provide any Return Of Investment (ROI) related information. So the option
suggesting it is OUT.
>> Does NOT provide any information w.r.t how APIs are reused, whether there is effective
usage of APIs or not etc...
>> Does NOT prodive any prediction information as such to help us proactively identify any
future policy violations.
So, the kind of data/information we can get from such metrics is on past API invocations to
help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs.

An API is protected with a Client ID Enforcement policy and uses the default configuration. Access is requested for the client application to the API, and an approved contract now exists between the client application and the API. How can a consumer of this API avoid a 401 error "Unauthorized or invalid client application credentials"?


A. Send the obtained token as a header in every call


B. Send the obtained: client_id and client_secret in the request body


C. Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call


D. Send the obtained clent_id and client_secret in the header of every API Request call





C.
  Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call

Explanation:
When using the Client ID Enforcement policy with default settings, MuleSoft expects the client_id and client_secret to be provided in the URI parameters of each request. This policy is typically used to control and monitor access by validating that each request has valid credentials. Here’s how to avoid a 401 Unauthorized error:

  • URI Parameters Requirement:

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:
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.

An organization uses various cloud-based SaaS systems and multiple on-premises
systems. The on-premises systems are an important part of the organization's application
network and can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet.
What is the best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support integrations with
both the cloud-based SaaS systems and on-premises systems?
A) Use CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in an Anypoint VPC managed by Anypoint
Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane



A.

Option A


B.

Option B


C.

Option C


D.

Option D





B.
  

Option B



Explanation: •Explanation
Correct Answer: Use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
*****************************************
Key details to be taken from the given scenario:
>> Organization uses BOTH cloud-based and on-premises systems
>> On-premises systems can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet
Let us evaluate the given choices based on above key details:
>> CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes can ONLY be controlled using MuleSoft-hosted
control plane. We CANNOT use Private Cloud Edition's control plane to control CloudHub
Mule Runtimes. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in the shared worker cloud managed by the
MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform is completely IRRELEVANT to given scenario and silly
choice. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using an on-premises installation of Mule runtimes that are completely isolated with NO
external network access, managed by the Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control
plane would work for On-premises integrations. However, with NO external access,
integrations cannot be done to SaaS-based apps. Moreover CloudHub-hosted apps are
best-fit for integrating with SaaS-based applications. So, option suggesting this is BEST
WAY.
The best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support these mixed/hybrid
integrations is to use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
