A company deploys Mule applications with default configurations through Runtime Manager to customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Each Mule application is an API implementation that exposes RESTful interfaces to API clients. The Mule runtimes are managed by the MuleSoft-hosted control plane. The payload is never used by any Logger components. When an API client sends an HTTP request to a customer-hosted Mule application, which metadata or data (payload) is pushed to the MuleSoft-hosted control plane?


A. Only the data


B. No data


C. The data and metadata


D. Only the metadata





D.
  Only the metadata

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.

A Mule application implements an API. The Mule application has an HTTP Listener whose connector configuration sets the HTTPS protocol and hard-codes the port value. The Mule application is deployed to an Anypoint VPC and uses the CloudHub 1.0 Shared Load Balancer (SLB) for all incoming traffic. Which port number must be assigned to the HTTP Listener's connector configuration so that the Mule application properly receives HTTPS API invocations routed through the SLB?


A. 8082


B. 8092


C. 80


D. 443





B.
  8092

Explanation:
When using CloudHub 1.0’s Shared Load Balancer (SLB) for a Mule application configured with HTTPS in an Anypoint VPC, specific ports must be configured for the application to correctly route incoming traffic:

A large organization with an experienced central IT department is getting started using MuleSoft. There is a project to connect a siloed back-end system to a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The Center for Enablement is coaching them to use API-led connectivity. What action would support the creation of an application network using API-led connectivity?


A. Invite the business analyst to create a business process model to specify the canonical data model between the two systems


B. Determine if the new CRM system supports the creation of custom: REST APIs, establishes 4 private network with CloudHub, and supports GAuth 2.0 authentication


C. To expedite this project, central IT should extend the CRM system and back-end systems to connect to one another using built in integration interfaces


D. Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API





D.
  Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API

Explanation:
For an organization starting with API-led connectivity to integrate a siloed back-end system with a new CRM, the following approach aligns with best practices and MuleSoft’s Center for Enablement (C4E) guidance:
API-led Connectivity: This model organizes APIs into distinct layers (System, Process, and Experience) to improve reusability, modularity, and manageability.

  • Why Option D is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

A company wants to move its Mule API implementations into production as quickly as
possible. To protect access to all Mule application data and metadata, the company
requires that all Mule applications be deployed to the company's customer-hosted
infrastructure within the corporate firewall. What combination of runtime plane and control
plane options meets these project lifecycle goals?


A.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


B.

MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


C.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane


D.

iPaaS provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane





A.
  

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane



Explanation:
Explanation
Correct Answer: Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane
*****************************************
There are two key factors that are to be taken into consideration from the scenario given in
the question.
>> Company requires both data and metadata to be resided within the corporate firewall
>> Company would like to go with customer-hosted infrastructure.
Any deployment model that is to deal with the cloud directly or indirectly (Mulesoft-hosted
or Customer's own cloud like Azure, AWS) will have to share atleast the metadata.
Application data can be controlled inside firewall by having Mule Runtimes on customer
hosted runtime plane. But if we go with Mulsoft-hosted/ Cloud-based control plane, the
control plane required atleast some minimum level of metadata to be sent outside the
corporate firewall.
As the customer requirement is pretty clear about the data and metadata both to be within
the corporate firewall, even though customer wants to move to production as quickly as
possible, unfortunately due to the nature of their security requirements, they have no other
option but to go with manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane.

The application network is recomposable: it is built for change because it "bends but does
not break"


A.

TRUE


B.

FALSE





A.
  

TRUE



Explanation: *****************************************
>> Application Network is a disposable architecture.
>> Which means, it can be altered without disturbing entire architecture and its
components.
>> It bends as per requirements or design changes but does not break

An organization uses various cloud-based SaaS systems and multiple on-premises
systems. The on-premises systems are an important part of the organization's application
network and can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet.
What is the best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support integrations with
both the cloud-based SaaS systems and on-premises systems?
A) Use CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in an Anypoint VPC managed by Anypoint
Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane



A.

Option A


B.

Option B


C.

Option C


D.

Option D





B.
  

Option B



Explanation: •Explanation
Correct Answer: Use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
*****************************************
Key details to be taken from the given scenario:
>> Organization uses BOTH cloud-based and on-premises systems
>> On-premises systems can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet
Let us evaluate the given choices based on above key details:
>> CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes can ONLY be controlled using MuleSoft-hosted
control plane. We CANNOT use Private Cloud Edition's control plane to control CloudHub
Mule Runtimes. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in the shared worker cloud managed by the
MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform is completely IRRELEVANT to given scenario and silly
choice. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using an on-premises installation of Mule runtimes that are completely isolated with NO
external network access, managed by the Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control
plane would work for On-premises integrations. However, with NO external access,
integrations cannot be done to SaaS-based apps. Moreover CloudHub-hosted apps are
best-fit for integrating with SaaS-based applications. So, option suggesting this is BEST
WAY.
The best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support these mixed/hybrid
integrations is to use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned onpremises
Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.

What is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the success of a typical C4E that is immediately apparent in responses from the Anypoint Platform APIs?


A.

The number of production outage incidents reported in the last 24 hours


B.

The number of API implementations that have a publicly accessible HTTP endpoint and are being managed by Anypoint Platform


C.

The fraction of API implementations deployed manually relative to those deployed using a CI/CD tool


D.

The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint
Exchange





D.
  

The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint
Exchange



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to
Anypoint Exchange
*****************************************
>> The success of C4E always depends on their contribution to the number of reusable
assets that they have helped to build and publish to Anypoint Exchange.
>> It is NOT due to any factors w.r.t # of outages, Manual vs CI/CD deployments or
Publicly accessible HTTP endpoints
>> Anypoint Platform APIs helps us to quickly run and get the number of published
RAML/OAS assets to Anypoint Exchange. This clearly depicts how successful a C4E team
is based on number of returned assets in the response.
