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: 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 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 Platform Architect inherits a legacy monolithic SOAP-based web service that performs a number of tasks, including showing all policies belonging to a client. The service connects to two back-end systems — a life-insurance administration system and a general-insurance administration system — and then queries for insurance policy information within each system, aggregates the results, and presents a SOAP-based response to a user interface (UI). The architect wants to break up the monolithic web service to follow API-led conventions. Which part of the service should be put into the process layer?


A. Combining the insurance policy information from the administration systems


B. Presenting the SOAP-based response to the UI


C. Authenticating and maintaining connections to each of the back-end administration systems


D. Querying the data from the administration systems





A.   Combining the insurance policy information from the administration systems

Explanation:
In the API-led connectivity approach, each layer (System, Process, and Experience) has a distinct purpose:

  • System APIs: These APIs connect directly to backend systems to expose and unlock data in a standardized way.
  • Process APIs: These are responsible for orchestrating and processing data across different systems, combining information where needed.
  • Experience APIs: These are designed for specific user interfaces or applications, often transforming data formats to fit the needs of each consumer application.
Why Option A is Correct:
  • Process APIs are designed to combine data from multiple systems, which aligns with the function of aggregating policy information from both the life and general insurance systems. This aggregation logic would ideally reside in the Process layer, separating data retrieval from data orchestration.
  • Moving this functionality to the Process layer enables reusability and modularity, as other Experience APIs or services could also leverage the combined policy data if needed.
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
  • Option B (Presenting the SOAP-based response) would be managed by the Experience layer, as this layer adapts data formats for specific interfaces.
  • Option C (Authenticating and maintaining backend connections) would typically be handled within the System layer, where backend integration and security handling occurs.
  • Option D (Querying data) is the function of System APIs, which access the backend systems directly and expose the raw data without additional processing.

Due to a limitation in the backend system, a system API can only handle up to 500
requests per second. What is the best type of API policy to apply to the system API to avoid overloading the backend system?


A.

Rate limiting


B.

HTTP caching


C.

Rate limiting - SLA based


D.

Spike control





D.   

Spike control



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Spike control
*****************************************
>> First things first, HTTP Caching policy is for purposes different than avoiding the
backend system from overloading. So this is OUT.
>> Rate Limiting and Throttling/ Spike Control policies are designed to limit API access, but
have different intentions.
>> Rate limiting protects an API by applying a hard limit on its access.
>> Throttling/ Spike Control shapes API access by smoothing spikes in traffic.
That is why, Spike Control is the right option
