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
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.

Which statement is true about identity management and client management on Anypoint Platform?
A. If an external identity provider is configured, the SAML 2.0 bearer tokens issued by the identity provider cannot be used for invocations of the Anypoint Platform web APIs
B. If an external client provider is configured, it must be configured at the Anypoint Platform organization level and cannot be assigned to individual business groups and environments
C. Anypoint Platform supports configuring one external identity provider
D. Both client management and identity management require an identity provider
Explanation:
Anypoint Platform allows organizations to integrate one external identity
provider (IdP) for identity and access management (IAM), supporting SSO and centralized
user authentication.
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
A customer has an ELA contract with MuleSoft. An API deployed to CloudHub is consistently experiencing performance issues. Based on the root cause analysis, it is determined that autoscaling needs to be applied. How can this be achieved?
A. Configure a policy so that when the number of HTTP requests reaches a certain threshold the number of workers/replicas increases (horizontal scaling)
B. Configure two separate policies: When CPU and memory reach certain threshold, increase the worker/replica type (vertical sealing) and the number of workers/replicas (horizontal sealing)
C. Configure a policy based on CPU usage so that CloudHub auto-adjusts the number of workers/replicas (horizontal scaling)
D. Configure a policy so that when the response time reaches a certain threshold the worker/replica type increases (vertical scaling)
Explanation:
In MuleSoft CloudHub, autoscaling is essential to managing application load
efficiently. CloudHub supports horizontal scaling based on CPU usage, which is wellsuited
to applications experiencing variable demand and needing responsive resource
allocation.
An Order API must be designed that contains significant amounts of integration logic and
involves the invocation of the Product API.
The power relationship between Order API and Product API is one of "Customer/Supplier",
because the Product API is used heavily throughout the organization and is developed by a
dedicated development team located in the office of the CTO.
What strategy should be used to deal with the API data model of the Product API within the
Order API?
A.
Convince the development team of the Product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that the integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model
B.
Work with the API data types of the Product API directly when implementing the integration logic of the Order API such that the Order API uses the same (unchanged) data types as the Product API
C.
Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API
D.
Start an organization-wide data modeling initiative that will result in an Enterprise Data
Model that will then be used in both the Product API and the Order API
Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data
model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one
consistent internal data model
*****************************************
Key details to note from the given scenario:
>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier
So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would
request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need
to accomodate those requests.
What is a typical result of using a fine-grained rather than a coarse-grained API deployment model to implement a given business process?
A.
A decrease in the number of connections within the application network supporting the business process
B.
A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network
C.
A better response time for the end user as a result of the APIs being smaller in scope and complexity
D.
An overall tower usage of resources because each fine-grained API consumes less resources
A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application
network.
*****************************************
>> We do NOT get faster response times in fine-grained approach when compared to
coarse-grained approach.
>> In fact, we get faster response times from a network having coarse-grained APIs
compared to a network having fine-grained APIs model. The reasons are below.
Fine-grained approach:
1. will have more APIs compared to coarse-grained
2. So, more orchestration needs to be done to achieve a functionality in business process.
3. Which means, lots of API calls to be made. So, more connections will needs to be
established. So, obviously more hops, more network i/o, more number of integration points
compared to coarse-grained approach where fewer APIs with bulk functionality embedded
in them.
4. That is why, because of all these extra hops and added latencies, fine-grained approach
will have bit more response times compared to coarse-grained.
5. Not only added latencies and connections, there will be more resources used up in finegrained
approach due to more number of APIs.
That's why, fine-grained APIs are good in a way to expose more number of resuable assets
in your network and make them discoverable. However, needs more maintenance, taking
care of integration points, connections, resources with a little compromise w.r.t network
hops and response times.
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 online store's marketing team has noticed an increase in customers leaving online baskets without checking out. They suspect a technology issue is at the root cause of the baskets being left behind. They approach the Center for Enablement to ask for help identifying the issue.
