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.

An organization wants to make sure only known partners can invoke the organization's
APIs. To achieve this security goal, the organization wants to enforce a Client ID
Enforcement policy in API Manager so that only registered partner applications can invoke
the organization's APIs. In what type of API implementation does MuleSoft recommend
adding an API proxy to enforce the Client ID Enforcement policy, rather than embedding
the policy directly in the application's JVM?


A.

A Mule 3 application using APIkit


B.

A Mule 3 or Mule 4 application modified with custom Java code


C.

A Mule 4 application with an API specification


D.

A Non-Mule application





D.
  

A Non-Mule application



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: A Non-Mule application
*****************************************
>> All type of Mule applications (Mule 3/ Mule 4/ with APIkit/ with Custom Java Code etc)
running on Mule Runtimes support the Embedded Policy Enforcement on them.
>> The only option that cannot have or does not support embedded policy enforcement
and must have API Proxy is for Non-Mule Applications.
So, Non-Mule application is the right answer

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

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:

A system API has a guaranteed SLA of 100 ms per request. The system API is deployed to a primary environment as well as to a disaster recovery (DR) environment, with different DNS names in each environment. An upstream process API invokes the system API and the main goal of this process API is to respond to client requests in the least possible time. In what order should the system APIs be invoked, and what changes should be made in order to speed up the response time for requests from the process API?


A. In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment, and ONLY use the first response


B. In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment using a scatter-gather configured with a timeout, and then merge the responses


C. Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment, and if it fails, invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment


D. Invoke ONLY the system API deployed to the primary environment, and add timeout and retry logic to avoid intermittent failures





A.
  In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment, and ONLY use the first response

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment
and the system API deployed to the DR environment, and ONLY use the first response.
*****************************************
>> The API requirement in the given scenario is to respond in least possible time.
>> The option that is suggesting to first try the API in primary environment and then
fallback to API in DR environment would result in successful response but NOT in least
possible time. So, this is NOT a right choice of implementation for given requirement.
>> Another option that is suggesting to ONLY invoke API in primary environment and to
add timeout and retries may also result in successful response upon retries but NOT in
least possible time. So, this is also NOT a right choice of implementation for given
requirement.
>> One more option that is suggesting to invoke API in primary environment and API in DR
environment in parallel using Scatter-Gather would result in wrong API response as it
would return merged results and moreover, Scatter-Gather does things in parallel which is
true but still completes its scope only on finishing all routes inside it. So again, NOT a right
choice of implementation for given requirement
The Correct choice is to invoke the API in primary environment and the API in DR
environment parallelly, and using ONLY the first response received from one of them

An organization has built an application network following the API-led connectivity approach recommended by MuleSoft.

A. All layers


B. System layer


C. Process layer


D. Experience layer
