What best describes the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs), also known as DNS entries, created when a Mule application is deployed to the CloudHub Shared Worker Cloud?


A.

A fixed number of FQDNs are created, IRRESPECTIVE of the environment and VPC design


B.

The FQDNs are determined by the application name chosen, IRRESPECTIVE of the region


C.

The FQDNs are determined by the application name, but can be modified by an
administrator after deployment


D.

The FQDNs are determined by both the application name and the Anypoint Platform
organization





B.
  

The FQDNs are determined by the application name chosen, IRRESPECTIVE of the region



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The FQDNs are determined by the application name chosen,
IRRESPECTIVE of the region
*****************************************
>> When deploying applications to Shared Worker Cloud, the FQDN are always
determined by application name chosen.
>> It does NOT matter what region the app is being deployed to.
>> Although it is fact and true that the generated FQDN will have the region included in it
(Ex: exp-salesorder-api.au-s1.cloudhub.io), it does NOT mean that the same name can be
used when deploying to another CloudHub region.
>> Application name should be universally unique irrespective of Region and Organization
and solely determines the FQDN for Shared Load Balancers

An API has been updated in Anypoint Exchange by its API producer from version 3.1.1 to
3.2.0 following accepted semantic versioning practices and the changes have been
communicated via the API's public portal.
The API endpoint does NOT change in the new version.
How should the developer of an API client respond to this change?


A.

The update should be identified as a project risk and full regression testing of the functionality that uses this API should be run


B.

The API producer should be contacted to understand the change to existing functionality


C.

The API producer should be requested to run the old version in parallel with the new one


D.

The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new
features





D.
  

The API client code ONLY needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of new
features

A Rate Limiting policy is applied to an API implementation to protect the back-end system. Recently, there have been surges in demand that cause some API client POST requests to the API implementation to be rejected with policy-related errors, causing delays and complications to the API clients. How should the API policies that are applied to the API implementation be changed to reduce the frequency of errors returned to API clients, while still protecting the back-end system?


A. Keep the Rate Limiting policy and add 9 Client ID Enforcement policy


B. Remove the Rate Limiting policy and add an HTTP Caching policy


C. Remove the Rate Limiting policy and add a Spike Control policy


D. Keep the Rate Limiting policy and add an SLA-based Spike Control policy





D.
  Keep the Rate Limiting policy and add an SLA-based Spike Control policy

Explanation:
When managing high traffic to an API, especially with POST requests, it is crucial to ensure the API’s policies both protect the back-end systems and provide a smooth client experience. Here’s the approach to reducing errors:
Rate Limiting Policy: This policy enforces a limit on the number of requests within a defined time period. However, rate limiting alone may cause clients to hit limits during demand surges, leading to errors.

  • Adding an SLA-based Spike Control Policy:
  • Why Option D is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

An existing Quoting API is defined in RAML and used by REST clients for interacting with the quoting engine. Currently there is a resource defined in the RAML that allows the creation of quotes; however, a new requirement was just received to allow for the updating of existing quotes. Which two actions need to be taken to facilitate this change so it can be processed? (Choose 2 answers)


A. Update the API implementation to accommodate the new update request


B. B. Remove the old client applications and create new client applications to account for the changes


C. Update the RAML with new method details for the update request


D. Deprecate existing versions of the API in Exchange


E. Add a new API policy to API Manager to allow access to the updated endpoint





A.
  Update the API implementation to accommodate the new update request

C.
  Update the RAML with new method details for the update request

Explanation:
To accommodate the new requirement of allowing updates to existing quotes, the following actions should be taken:

  • Update the RAML Definition (Option C):
  • Update the API Implementation (Option A):
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Which scenario is suited for MUnit tests instead of integration tests?


A. For read-only interactions to any dependencies (such as other web APIs)


B. When testing does not require knowledge of implementation details


C. When no mocking is permissible


D. For tests that are implemented using SoapUI





A.
  For read-only interactions to any dependencies (such as other web APIs)

Explanation:
MUnit is MuleSoft’s testing framework for creating and running automated tests within Anypoint Studio. It is specifically designed for unit testing Mule applications and is best suited when testing doesn’t require understanding the inner workings or implementation details of the components being tested.

  • Ideal Use Cases for MUnit:
  • Why Option B is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

A large lending company has developed an API to unlock data from a database server and web server. The API has been deployed to Anypoint Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on CloudHub 1.0. The database server and web server are in the customer's secure network and are not accessible through the public internet. The database server is in the customer's AWS VPC, whereas the web server is in the customer's on-premises corporate data center. How can access be enabled for the API to connect with the database server and the web server?


A. Set up VPC peering with AWS VPC and a VPN tunnel to the customer's on-premises corporate data center


B. Set up VPC peering with AWS VPC and the customer's on-premises corporate data center


C. Setup a transit gateway to the customer's on-premises corporate data center through AWS VPC


D. Set up VPC peering with the customer's on-premises corporate data center and a VPN tunnel to AWS VPC





A.
  Set up VPC peering with AWS VPC and a VPN tunnel to the customer's on-premises corporate data center

Explanation:

  • Scenario Overview:
  • Connectivity Requirements:
  • Analysis of Options:
Conclusion:
For more detailed reference, MuleSoft documentation on Anypoint VPC peering and VPN connectivity provides additional context on best practices for setting up these connections within a hybrid network infrastructure.

A company requires Mule applications deployed to CloudHub to be isolated between nonproduction
and production environments. This is so Mule applications deployed to nonproduction
environments can only access backend systems running in their customerhosted
non-production environment, and so Mule applications deployed to production
environments can only access backend systems running in their customer-hosted
production environment. How does MuleSoft recommend modifying Mule applications,
configuring environments, or changing infrastructure to support this type of perenvironment
isolation between Mule applications and backend systems?


A.

Modify properties of Mule applications deployed to the production Anypoint Platform
environments to prevent access from non-production Mule applications


B.

Configure firewall rules in the infrastructure inside each customer-hosted environment so
that only IP addresses from the corresponding Anypoint Platform environments are allowed
to communicate with corresponding backend systems


C.

Create non-production and production environments in different Anypoint Platform
business groups


D.

Create separate Anypoint VPCs for non-production and production environments, then configure connections to the backend systems in the corresponding customer-hosted
environments





D.
  

Create separate Anypoint VPCs for non-production and production environments, then configure connections to the backend systems in the corresponding customer-hosted
environments



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Create separate Anypoint VPCs for non-production and production
environments, then configure connections to the backend systems in the corresponding
customer-hosted environments.
*****************************************
>> Creating different Business Groups does NOT make any difference w.r.t accessing the
non-prod and prod customer-hosted environments. Still they will be accessing from both
Business Groups unless process network restrictions are put in place.
>> We need to modify or couple the Mule Application Implementations with the
environment. In fact, we should never implements application coupled with environments
by binding them in the properties. Only basic things like endpoint URL etc should be
bundled in properties but not environment level access restrictions.
>> IP addresses on CloudHub are dynamic until unless a special static addresses are
assigned. So it is not possible to setup firewall rules in customer-hosted infrastrcture. More
over, even if static IP addresses are assigned, there could be 100s of applications running
on cloudhub and setting up rules for all of them would be a hectic task, non-maintainable
and definitely got a good practice.
>> The best practice recommended by Mulesoft (In fact any cloud provider), is to have
your Anypoint VPCs seperated for Prod and Non-Prod and perform the VPC peering or
VPN tunneling for these Anypoint VPCs to respective Prod and Non-Prod customer-hosted
environment networks.
