An IT Security Compliance Auditor is assessing which nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) are already being implemented to meet security measures.

  • The Web API has Rate-Limiting SLA
  • Basic Authentication - LDAP
  • JSON Threat Protection
  • TP Allowlist policies applied
Which two NFRs-are enforced?


A. The API invocations are coming from a known subnet range


B. Username/password supported to validate login credentials


C. Sensitive data is masked to prevent compromising critical information


D. The API is protected against XML invocation attacks


E. Performance expectations are to be allowed up to 1,000 requests per second





A.
  The API invocations are coming from a known subnet range

B.
  Username/password supported to validate login credentials

When designing an upstream API and its implementation, the development team has been
advised to NOT set timeouts when invoking a downstream API, because that downstream
API has no SLA that can be relied upon. This is the only downstream API dependency of
that upstream API.
Assume the downstream API runs uninterrupted without crashing. What is the impact of
this advice?


A.

An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided


B.

The invocation of the downstream API will run to completion without timing out


C.

A default timeout of 500 ms will automatically be applied by the Mule runtime in which the upstream API implementation executes


D.

A toad-dependent timeout of less than 1000 ms will be applied by the Mule runtime in
which the downstream API implementation executes





A.
  

An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided.
*****************************************
>> First thing first, the default HTTP response timeout for HTTP connector is 10000 ms (10
seconds). NOT 500 ms.
>> Mule runtime does NOT apply any such "load-dependent" timeouts. There is no such
behavior currently in Mule.
>> As there is default 10000 ms time out for HTTP connector, we CANNOT always
guarantee that the invocation of the downstream API will run to completion without timing
out due to its unreliable SLA times. If the response time crosses 10 seconds then the
request may time out.
The main impact due to this is that a proper SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be
provided.

In an organization, the InfoSec team is investigating Anypoint Platform related data traffic. From where does most of the data available to Anypoint Platform for monitoring and alerting originate?


A.

From the Mule runtime or the API implementation, depending on the deployment model


B.

From various components of Anypoint Platform, such as the Shared Load Balancer, VPC, and Mule runtimes


C.

From the Mule runtime or the API Manager, depending on the type of data


D.

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model





D.
  

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model
*****************************************
>> Monitoring and Alerting metrics are always originated from Mule Runtimes irrespective
of the deployment model.
>> It may seems that some metrics (Runtime Manager) are originated from Mule Runtime
and some are (API Invocations/ API Analytics) from API Manager. However, this is
realistically NOT TRUE. The reason is, API manager is just a management tool for API
instances but all policies upon applying on APIs eventually gets executed on Mule
Runtimes only (Either Embedded or API Proxy).
>> Similarly all API Implementations also run on Mule Runtimes.
So, most of the day required for monitoring and alerts are originated fron Mule Runtimes
only irrespective of whether the deployment model is MuleSoft-hosted or Customer-hosted
or Hybrid.

A company has created a successful enterprise data model (EDM). The company is
committed to building an application network by adopting modern APIs as a core enabler of
the company's IT operating model. At what API tiers (experience, process, system) should
the company require reusing the EDM when designing modern API data models?


A.

At the experience and process tiers


B.

At the experience and system tiers


C.

At the process and system tiers


D.

At the experience, process, and system tiers





C.
  

At the process and system tiers



Explanation: Explanation Correct Answer: At the process and system tiers
*****************************************
>> Experience Layer APIs are modeled and designed exclusively for the end user's
experience. So, the data models of experience layer vary based on the nature and type of
such API consumer. For example, Mobile consumers will need light-weight data models to
transfer with ease on the wire, where as web-based consumers will need detailed data
models to render most of the info on web pages, so on. So, enterprise data models fit for
the purpose of canonical models but not of good use for experience APIs.
>> That is why, EDMs should be used extensively in process and system tiers but NOT in
experience tier.

An auto manufacturer has a mature CI/CD practice and wants to automate packaging and deployment of any Mule applications to various deployment targets, including CloudHub workers/replicas, customer-hosted Mule runtimes, and Anypoint Runtime Fabric. Which MuleSoft-provided tool or component facilitates automating the packaging and deployment of Mule applications to various deployment targets as part of the company's CI/CD practice?


A. Anypoint Runtime Manager


B. Mule Maven plugin


C. Anypoint Platform CLI


D. Anypoint Platform REST APIs





B.
  Mule Maven plugin

Explanation:
For organizations with established CI/CD practices, the Mule Maven plugin is the recommended tool for automating packaging and deployment across multiple environments, including CloudHub, on-premise Mule runtimes, and Anypoint Runtime Fabric. Here’s why:

  • Automation with Maven:
  • Supported Deployment Targets:
  • Why Option B is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
