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
Traffic is routed through an API proxy to an API implementation. The API proxy is managed
by API Manager and the API implementation is deployed to a CloudHub VPC using
Runtime Manager. API policies have been applied to this API. In this deployment scenario,
at what point are the API policies enforced on incoming API client requests?
A.
At the API proxy
B.
At the API implementation
C.
At both the API proxy and the API implementation
D.
At a MuleSoft-hosted load balancer
At the API proxy
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: At the API proxy
*****************************************
>> API Policies can be enforced at two places in Mule platform.
>> One - As an Embedded Policy enforcement in the same Mule Runtime where API
implementation is running.
>> Two - On an API Proxy sitting in front of the Mule Runtime where API implementation is
running.
>> As the deployment scenario in the question has API Proxy involved, the policies will be
enforced at the API Proxy.
When must an API implementation be deployed to an Anypoint VPC?
A.
When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance
B.
When the API implementation must be accessible within a subnet of a restricted customer-hosted network that does not allow public access
C.
When the API implementation must be deployed to a production AWS VPC using the Mule Maven plugin
D.
When the API Implementation must write to a persistent Object Store
When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance
When could the API data model of a System API reasonably mimic the data model
exposed by the corresponding backend system, with minimal improvements over the
backend system's data model?
A.
When there is an existing Enterprise Data Model widely used across the organization
B.
When the System API can be assigned to a bounded context with a corresponding data
model
C.
When a pragmatic approach with only limited isolation from the backend system is deemed appropriate
D.
When the corresponding backend system is expected to be replaced in the near future
When a pragmatic approach with only limited isolation from the backend system is deemed appropriate
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When a pragmatic approach with only limited isolation from the backend
system is deemed appropriate.
*****************************************
General guidance w.r.t choosing Data Models:
>> If an Enterprise Data Model is in use then the API data model of System APIs should
make use of data types from that Enterprise Data Model and the corresponding API
implementation should translate between these data types from the Enterprise Data Model
and the native data model of the backend system.
>> If no Enterprise Data Model is in use then each System API should be assigned to a
Bounded Context, the API data model of System APIs should make use of data types from
the corresponding Bounded Context Data Model and the corresponding API
implementation should translate between these data types from the Bounded Context Data
Model and the native data model of the backend system. In this scenario, the data types in
the Bounded Context Data Model are defined purely in terms of their business
characteristics and are typically not related to the native data model of the backend system.
In other words, the translation effort may be significant.
>> If no Enterprise Data Model is in use, and the definition of a clean Bounded Context
Data Model is considered too much effort, then the API data model of System APIs should
make use of data types that approximately mirror those from the backend system, same
semantics and naming as backend system, lightly sanitized, expose all fields needed for
the given System API’s functionality, but not significantly more and making good use of
REST conventions.
The latter approach, i.e., exposing in System APIs an API data model that basically mirrors
that of the backend system, does not provide satisfactory isolation from backend systems
through the System API tier on its own. In particular, it will typically not be possible to
"swap out" a backend system without significantly changing all System APIs in front of that
backend system and therefore the API implementations of all Process APIs that depend on
those System APIs! This is so because it is not desirable to prolong the life of a previous
backend system’s data model in the form of the API data model of System APIs that now
front a new backend system. The API data models of System APIs following this approach
must therefore change when the backend system is replaced.
On the other hand:
>> It is a very pragmatic approach that adds comparatively little overhead over accessing
the backend system directly
>> Isolates API clients from intricacies of the backend system outside the data model
(protocol, authentication, connection pooling, network address, …)
>> Allows the usual API policies to be applied to System APIs
>> Makes the API data model for interacting with the backend system explicit and visible,
by exposing it in the RAML definitions of the System APIs
>> Further isolation from the backend system data model does occur in the API
A company stores financial transaction data in two legacy systems. For each legacy
system, a separate, dedicated System API (SAPI) exposes data for that legacy system. A
Process API (PAPI) merges the data retrieved from ail of the System APIs into a common
format. Several API clients call the PAPI through its public domain name.
The company now wants to expose a subset of financial data to a newly developed mobile
application that uses a different Bounded Context Data Model. The company wants to
follow MuleSoft's best practices for building out an effective application network.
Following MuleSoft's best practices, how can the company expose financial data needed
by the mobile application in a way that minimizes the impact on the currently running API
clients, API implementations, and support asset reuse?
A. Add two new Experience APIs (EAPI-i and EAPI-2}.
Add Mobile PAPI-2 to expose the Intended subset of financial data as requested.
Both PAPIs access the Legacy Systems via SAPI-1 and SAP]-2.
B. Add two new Experience APIs (EAPI-i and EAPI-2}.
Add Mobile PAPI-2 to expose the Intended subset of financial data as requested.
Both PAPIs access the Legacy Systems via SAPI-1 and SAP]-2.
C. Create a new mobile Experince API (EAPI) chat exposes that subset of PAPI endpoints.
Add transformtion login to the mobile Experince API implementation to make mobile data
compatible with the required PAPIs.

D. Develop and deploy is new PAPI implementation with data transformation and ... login to
support this required endpoints of both mobile and web clients.
Deploy an API Proxy with an endpoint from API Manager that redirect the existing PAPI
endpoints to the new PAPI.
Explanation:
To achieve the goal of exposing financial data to a new mobile application while following
MuleSoft’s best practices, the company should follow an API-led connectivity approach.
This approach ensures minimal disruption to existing clients, maximizes reusability, and
respects the separation of concerns across API layers.
Explanation of Solution:
Experience APIs for Client-Specific Requirements:
Process API Layer for Data Transformation:
Reuse of System APIs:
Why Option A is Correct:
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
Option B: This option seems similar but lacks clarity on the separation of mobilespecific
requirements and does not explicitly mention data transformation, which is
essential in this scenario.
Option C: Creating a single mobile Experience API that exposes a subset of PAPI
endpoints directly adds unnecessary complexity and may violate the separation of
concerns, as transformation logic should not be in the Experience layer.
Option D: Deploying a new PAPI and using an API Proxy to redirect existing
endpoints would add unnecessary complexity, disrupt the current API clients, and
increase maintenance efforts.

Which statement is true about Spike Control policy and Rate Limiting policy?
A. All requests are rejected after the limit is reached in Rate Limiting policy, whereas the requests are queued in Spike Control policy after the limit is reached
B. In a clustered environment, the Rate Limiting.and Spike Control policies are applied to each node in the cluster
C. To protect Experience APIs by limiting resource consumption, Rate Limiting policy must be applied
D. In order to apply Rate Limiting and Spike Control policies, a contract to bind client application and API is needed for both
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
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.
