An application updates an inventory running only one process at any given time to keep the inventory consistent. This process takes 200 milliseconds (.2 seconds) to execute; therefore, the scalability threshold of the application is five requests per second. What is the impact on the application if horizontal scaling is applied, thereby increasing the number of Mule workers?


A. The application scalability threshold is five requests per second regardless of the horizontal scaling


B. The total process execution time is now 100 milliseconds (.1 seconds)


C. The application scalability threshold is now 10 requests per second


D. Horizontal scaling cannot be applied to an already-running application





A.
  The application scalability threshold is five requests per second regardless of the horizontal scaling

Explanation:
Given that the application is designed to handle only one process at a time to maintain data consistency, here’s why horizontal scaling won’t increase the processing limit:
Single-Process Constraint:

  • Execution Time:
  • Explanation of Correct Answer (A):
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

The application network is recomposable: it is built for change because it "bends but does
not break"


A.

TRUE


B.

FALSE





A.
  

TRUE



Explanation: *****************************************
>> Application Network is a disposable architecture.
>> Which means, it can be altered without disturbing entire architecture and its
components.
>> It bends as per requirements or design changes but does not break

An organization has several APIs that accept JSON data over HTTP POST. The APIs are
all publicly available and are associated with several mobile applications and web
applications.
The organization does NOT want to use any authentication or compliance policies for these
APIs, but at the same time, is worried that some bad actor could send payloads that could
somehow compromise the applications or servers running the API implementations.
What out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform policy can address exposure to this threat?


A.

Shut out bad actors by using HTTPS mutual authentication for all API invocations


B.

Apply an IP blacklist policy to all APIs; the blacklist will Include all bad actors


C.

Apply a Header injection and removal policy that detects the malicious data before it is used


D.

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors





D.
  

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat
vectors
*****************************************
>> Usually, if the APIs are designed and developed for specific consumers (known
consumers/customers) then we would IP Whitelist the same to ensure that traffic only
comes from them.
>> However, as this scenario states that the APIs are publicly available and being used by
so many mobile and web applications, it is NOT possible to identify and blacklist all
possible bad actors.
>> So, JSON threat protection policy is the best chance to prevent any bad JSON payloads
from such bad actors.

When must an API implementation be deployed to an Anypoint VPC?


A.

When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance


B.

When the API implementation must be accessible within a subnet of a restricted customer-hosted network that does not allow public access


C.

When the API implementation must be deployed to a production AWS VPC using the Mule Maven plugin


D.

When the API Implementation must write to a persistent Object Store





A.
  

When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance



A business process is being implemented within an organization's application network. The architecture group proposes using a more coarse-grained application network design with relatively fewer APIs deployed to the application network compared to a more fine-grained design. Overall, which factor typically increases with a more coarse-grained design for this business process implementation and deployment compared with using a more finegrained design?


A. The complexity of each API implementation


B. The number of discoverable assets related to APIs deployed in the application network


C. The number of possible connections between API implementations in the application network


D. The usage of network infrastructure resources by the application network





A.
  The complexity of each API implementation

What are the major benefits of MuleSoft proposed IT Operating Model?


A.

1. Decrease the IT delivery gap
2. Meet various business demands without increasing the IT capacity
3. Focus on creation of reusable assets first. Upon finishing creation of all the possible
assets then inform the LOBs in the organization to start using them


B.

1. Decrease the IT delivery gap
2. Meet various business demands by increasing the IT capacity and forming various IT
departments
3. Make consumption of assets at the rate of production


C.

1. Decrease the IT delivery gap
2. Meet various business demands without increasing the IT capacity
3. Make consumption of assets at the rate of production





C.
  

1. Decrease the IT delivery gap
2. Meet various business demands without increasing the IT capacity
3. Make consumption of assets at the rate of production



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer:
1. Decrease the IT delivery gap
2. Meet various business demands without increasing the IT capacity
3. Make consumption of assets at the rate of production.

A company is building an application network using MuleSoft's recommendations for various API layers. What is the main (default) role of a process API in an application network?


A. To secure and optimize the data synchronization processing of large data dumps between back-end systems


B. To manage and process the secure direct communication between a back-end system and an end-user client of mobile device in the application network


C. To automate parts of business processes by coordinating and orchestrating the invocation of other APIs in the application network


D. To secure, Manage, and process communication with specific types of end-user client applications or devices in the application network





C.
  To automate parts of business processes by coordinating and orchestrating the invocation of other APIs in the application network

Explanation:

  • Role of Process API in API-led Connectivity:
  • Evaluating the Options:
Conclusion:
Refer to MuleSoft's API-led connectivity documentation for further explanation of the roles and responsibilities of Process APIs in an application network.

Which out-of-the-box key performance indicator measures the success of a typical Center for Enablement and is immediately available in responses from Anypoint Platform APIs?


A. Per business group, the ratio of the number of production APT implementations deployed using a C1/CD pipeline to the number of production API implementations deployed manually


B. Per deployed API implementation, the amount of bandwidth consumed each day


C. Per published API, the number of developers that downloaded s version of the API specification


D. Per published API, the number of consumers that requested access to the API and have been approved in the Production environment





D.
  Per published API, the number of consumers that requested access to the API and have been approved in the Production environment
