What condition requires using a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer?


A.

When cross-region load balancing is required between separate deployments of the same Mule application


B.

When custom DNS names are required for API implementations deployed to customerhosted Mule runtimes


C.

When API invocations across multiple CloudHub workers must be load balanced


D.

When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API
implementations and API clients





D.   

When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API
implementations and API clients



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required
between API implementations and API clients
*****************************************
Fact/ Memory Tip: Although there are many benefits of CloudHub Dedicated Load
balancer, TWO important things that should come to ones mind for considering it are:
>> Having URL endpoints with Custom DNS names on CloudHub deployed apps
>> Configuring custom certificates for both HTTPS and Two-way (Mutual) authentication.
Coming to the options provided for this question:
>> We CANNOT use DLB to perform cross-region load balancing between separate
deployments of the same Mule application.
>> We can have mapping rules to have more than one DLB URL pointing to same Mule
app. But vicevera (More than one Mule app having same DLB URL) is NOT POSSIBLE
>> It is true that DLB helps to setup custom DNS names for Cloudhub deployed Mule apps
but NOT true for apps deployed to Customer-hosted Mule Runtimes.
>> It is true to that we can load balance API invocations across multiple CloudHub workers
using DLB but it is NOT A MUST. We can achieve the same (load balancing) using SLB
(Shared Load Balancer) too. We DO NOT necessarily require DLB for achieve it.
So the only right option that fits the scenario and requires us to use DLB is when TLS
mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients.

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

What is the best way to decompose one end-to-end business process into a collaboration of Experience, Process, and System APIs?
A) Handle customizations for the end-user application at the Process API level rather than the Experience API level
B) Allow System APIs to return data that is NOT currently required by the identified Process or Experience APIs
C) Always use a tiered approach by creating exactly one API for each of the 3 layers (Experience, Process and System APIs)
D) Use a Process API to orchestrate calls to multiple System APIs, but NOT to other Process APIs


A. Option A


B. Option B


C. Option C


D. Option D





B.   Option B

Explanation:
Correct Answer: Allow System APIs to return data that is NOT currently required by the identified Process or Experience APIs.

  • All customizations for the end-user application should be handled in "Experience API" only. Not in Process API
  • We should use tiered approach but NOT always by creating exactly one API for each of the 3 layers. Experience APIs might be one but Process APIs and System APIs are often more than one. System APIs for sure will be more than one all the time as they are the smallest modular APIs built in front of end systems.
  • Process APIs can call System APIs as well as other Process APIs. There is no such anti-design pattern in API-Led connectivity saying Process APIs should not call other Process APIs.
So, the right answer in the given set of options that makes sense as per API-Led connectivity principles is to allow System APIs to return data that is NOT currently required by the identified Process or Experience APIs. This way, some future Process APIs can make use of that data from System APIs and we need NOT touch the System layer APIs again and again.

Mule applications that implement a number of REST APIs are deployed to their own subnet
that is inaccessible from outside the organization.
External business-partners need to access these APIs, which are only allowed to be
invoked from a separate subnet dedicated to partners - called Partner-subnet. This subnet
is accessible from the public internet, which allows these external partners to reach it.
Anypoint Platform and Mule runtimes are already deployed in Partner-subnet. These Mule
runtimes can already access the APIs.
What is the most resource-efficient solution to comply with these requirements, while
having the least impact on other applications that are currently using the APIs?


A.

Implement (or generate) an API proxy Mule application for each of the APIs, then deploy the API proxies to the Mule runtimes


B.

Redeploy the API implementations to the same servers running the Mule runtimes


C.

Add an additional endpoint to each API for partner-enablement consumption


D.

Duplicate the APIs as Mule applications, then deploy them to the Mule runtimes





A.   

Implement (or generate) an API proxy Mule application for each of the APIs, then deploy the API proxies to the Mule runtimes



What best explains the use of auto-discovery in API implementations?


A. It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies


B. It enables Anypoint Studio to discover API definitions configured in Anypoint Platform


C. It enables Anypoint Exchange to discover assets and makes them available for reuse


D. It enables Anypoint Analytics to gain insight into the usage of APIs





A.   It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it
to enforce policies.
*****************************************
>> API Autodiscovery is a mechanism that manages an API from API Manager by pairing
the deployed application to an API created on the platform.
>> API Management includes tracking, enforcing policies if you apply any, and reporting
API analytics.
>> Critical to the Autodiscovery process is identifying the API by providing the API name
and version.

What API policy would be LEAST LIKELY used when designing an Experience API that is intended to work with a consumer mobile phone or tablet application?


A.

OAuth 2.0 access token enforcement


B.

Client ID enforcement


C.

JSON threat protection


D.

IPwhitellst





D.   

IPwhitellst



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: IP whitelist
*****************************************
>> OAuth 2.0 access token and Client ID enforcement policies are VERY common to apply
on Experience APIs as API consumers need to register and access the APIs using one of
these mechanisms
>> JSON threat protection is also VERY common policy to apply on Experience APIs to
prevent bad or suspicious payloads hitting the API implementations.
>> IP whitelisting policy is usually very common in Process and System APIs to only
whitelist the IP range inside the local VPC. But also applied occassionally on some
experience APIs where the End User/ API Consumers are FIXED.
>> When we know the API consumers upfront who are going to access certain Experience
APIs, then we can request for static IPs from such consumers and whitelist them to prevent
anyone else hitting the API.
However, the experience API given in the question/ scenario is intended to work with a
consumer mobile phone or tablet application. Which means, there is no way we can know
all possible IPs that are to be whitelisted as mobile phones and tablets can so many in
number and any device in the city/state/country/globe.
So, It is very LEAST LIKELY to apply IP Whitelisting on such Experience APIs whose
consumers are typically Mobile Phones or Tablets.
