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
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:
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
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
An organization requires several APIs to be secured with OAuth 2.0, and PingFederate has been identified as the identity provider for API client authorization, The PingFederate Client Provider is configured in access management, and the PingFederate OAuth 2.0 Token Enforcement policy is configured for the API instances required by the organization. The API instances reside in two business groups (Group A and Group B) within the Master Organization (Master Org). What should be done to allow API consumers to access the API instances?
A. The API administrator should configure the correct client discovery URL in both child business groups, and the API consumer should request access to the API in Ping Identity
B. The API administrator should grant access to the API consumers by creating contracts in the relevant API instances in API Manager
C. The APL consumer should create a client application and request access to the APT in Anypoint Exchange, and the API administrator should approve the request
D. The APT consumer should create a client application and request access to the API in Ping Identity, and the organization's Ping Identity workflow will grant access
Several times a week, an API implementation shows several thousand requests per minute
in an Anypoint Monitoring dashboard, Between these bursts, the
dashboard shows between two and five requests per minute. The API implementation is
running on Anypoint Runtime Fabric with two non-clustered replicas, reserved vCPU 1.0
and vCPU Limit 2.0.
An API consumer has complained about slow response time, and the dashboard shows the
99 percentile is greater than 120 seconds at the time of the complaint. It also shows greater than 90% CPU usage during these time periods.
In manual tests in the QA environment, the API consumer has consistently reproduced the
slow response time and high CPU usage, and there were no other API requests at
this time. In a brainstorming session, the engineering team has created several proposals
to reduce the response time for requests.
Which proposal should be pursued first?
A. Increase the vCPU resources of the API implementation
B. Modify the API client to split the problematic request into smaller, less-demanding requests
C. Increase the number of replicas of the API implementation
D. Throttle the APT client to reduce the number of requests per minute
Which three tools automate the deployment of Mule applications? (Choose 3 answers)
A. Runtime Manager
B. Anypoint Platform CLI
C. Platform APIs
D. Anypoint Studio
E. Mule Mayen plugin
F. API Community Manager
Explanation:
MuleSoft offers various tools to automate the deployment of Mule
applications, which can streamline deployment and management processes. Here’s how
each tool supports automated deployment:
An organization has implemented a Customer Address API to retrieve customer address
information. This API has been deployed to multiple environments and has been configured
to enforce client IDs everywhere.
A developer is writing a client application to allow a user to update their address. The
developer has found the Customer Address API in Anypoint Exchange and wants to use it
in their client application.
What step of gaining access to the API can be performed automatically by Anypoint
Platform?
A.
Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier
B.
Request access to the appropriate API Instances deployed to multiple environments using the client application's credentials
C.
Modify the client application to call the API using the client application's credentials
D.
Create a new application in Anypoint Exchange for requesting access to the API
Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Approve the client application request for the chosen SLA tier
*****************************************
>> Only approving the client application request for the chosen SLA tier can be automated
>> Rest of the provided options are not valid

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
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.
A Platinum customer uses the U.S. control plane and deploys applications to CloudHub in Singapore with a default log configuration. The compliance officer asks where the logs and monitoring data reside?
A. Logs are held in: Singapore and monitoring data is held in the United States
B. Logs and monitoring data are held in the United States
C. Logs are held in the United States and monitoring data is held in Singapore
D. Logs and monitoring data are held in Singapore
Explanation:
For applications deployed on CloudHub in a foreign region (e.g., Singapore),
MuleSoft handles log and monitoring data in the region where the control plane
resides. This data storage policy is standard for CloudHub deployments to maintain
centralized log and monitoring data.
