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.
An organization wants MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane features (such as HTTP load balancing, zero downtime, and horizontal and vertical scaling) in its Azure environment. What runtime plane minimizes the organization's effort to achieve these features?
A.
Anypoint Runtime Fabric
B.
Anypoint Platform for Pivotal Cloud Foundry
C.
CloudHub
D.
A hybrid combination of customer-hosted and MuleSoft-hosted Mule runtimes
Anypoint Runtime Fabric
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Anypoint Runtime Fabric
*****************************************
>> When a customer is already having an Azure environment, It is not at all an ideal
approach to go with hybrid model having some Mule Runtimes hosted on Azure and some
on MuleSoft. This is unnecessary and useless.
>> CloudHub is a Mulesoft-hosted Runtime plane and is on AWS. We cannot customize to
point CloudHub to customer's Azure environment.
>> Anypoint Platform for Pivotal Cloud Foundry is specifically for infrastructure provided by
Pivotal Cloud Foundry
>> Anypoint Runtime Fabric is right answer as it is a container service that automates the
deployment and orchestration of Mule applications and API gateways. Runtime Fabric runs
within a customer-managed infrastructure on AWS, Azure, virtual machines (VMs), and
bare-metal servers.
-Some of the capabilities of Anypoint Runtime Fabric include:
-Isolation between applications by running a separate Mule runtime per application.
-Ability to run multiple versions of Mule runtime on the same set of resources.
-Scaling applications across multiple replicas.
-Automated application fail-over.
-Application management with Anypoint Runtime Manager.

What is typically NOT a function of the APIs created within the framework called API-led connectivity?
A.
They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system,
thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
B.
They allow for innovation at the user Interface level by consuming the underlying assets
without being aware of how data Is being extracted from backend systems.
C.
They reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data
from backend systems In a reusable and consumable way.
D.
They can compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value.
They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system,
thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying
backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
*****************************************
In API-led connectivity,
>> Experience APIs - allow for innovation at the user interface level by consuming the
underlying assets without being aware of how data is being extracted from backend
systems.
>> Process APIs - compose data from various sources and combine them with
orchestration logic to create higher level value
>> System APIs - reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping
unlock data from backend systems in a reusable and consumable way.
However, they NEVER promise that they provide an additional layer of resilience on top of
the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these
systems.

An established communications company is beginning its API-led connectivity journey, The
company has been using a successful Enterprise Data Model for many years. The company has identified a self-service account management app as the first effort for APIled,
and it has identified the following APIs.
A. Customer SAPI
B. Customer Lookup PAPI
C. Mobile Account Management EAPI
D. Service SAPI
Explanation: In the API-led connectivity approach, APIs are categorized into Experience,
Process, and System layers:

An API implementation is being designed that must invoke an Order API, which is known to
repeatedly experience downtime.
For this reason, a fallback API is to be called when the Order API is unavailable.
What approach to designing the invocation of the fallback API provides the best resilience?
A.
Search Anypoint Exchange for a suitable existing fallback API, and then implement
invocations to this fallback API in addition to the Order API
B.
Create a separate entry for the Order API in API Manager, and then invoke this API as a
fallback API if the primary Order API is unavailable
C.
Redirect client requests through an HTTP 307 Temporary Redirect status code to the
fallback API whenever the Order API is unavailable
D.
Set an option in the HTTP Requester component that invokes the Order API to instead
invoke a fallback API whenever an HTTP 4xx or 5xx response status code is returned from
the Order API
Search Anypoint Exchange for a suitable existing fallback API, and then implement
invocations to this fallback API in addition to the Order API
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Search Anypoint exchange for a suitable existing fallback API, and then
implement invocations to this fallback API in addition to the order API
*****************************************
>> It is not ideal and good approach, until unless there is a pre-approved agreement with
the API clients that they will receive a HTTP 3xx temporary redirect status code and they
have to implement fallback logic their side to call another API.
>> Creating separate entry of same Order API in API manager would just create an
another instance of it on top of same API implementation. So, it does NO GOOD by using
clone od same API as a fallback API. Fallback API should be ideally a different API
implementation that is not same as primary one.
>> There is NO option currently provided by Anypoint HTTP Connector that allows us to
invoke a fallback API when we receive certain HTTP status codes in response.
The only statement TRUE in the given options is to Search Anypoint exchange for a
suitable existing fallback API, and then implement invocations to this fallback API in
addition to the order API.
A manufacturing company has deployed an API implementation to CloudHub and has not configured it to be automatically restarted by CloudHub when the worker is not responding. Which statement is true when no API Client invokes that API implementation?
A. No alert on the API invocations and APT implementation can be raised
B. Alerts on the APT invocation and API implementation can be raised
C. No alert on the API invocations is raised but alerts on the API implementation can be raised
D. Alerts on the API invocations are raised but no alerts on the API implementation can be raised
Explanation:
When an API implementation is deployed on CloudHub without configuring
automatic restarts in case of worker non-responsiveness, MuleSoft’s monitoring and
alerting behavior is as follows:
An organization wants to make sure only known partners can invoke the organization's
APIs. To achieve this security goal, the organization wants to enforce a Client ID
Enforcement policy in API Manager so that only registered partner applications can invoke
the organization's APIs. In what type of API implementation does MuleSoft recommend
adding an API proxy to enforce the Client ID Enforcement policy, rather than embedding
the policy directly in the application's JVM?
A.
A Mule 3 application using APIkit
B.
A Mule 3 or Mule 4 application modified with custom Java code
C.
A Mule 4 application with an API specification
D.
A Non-Mule application
A Non-Mule application
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: A Non-Mule application
*****************************************
>> All type of Mule applications (Mule 3/ Mule 4/ with APIkit/ with Custom Java Code etc)
running on Mule Runtimes support the Embedded Policy Enforcement on them.
>> The only option that cannot have or does not support embedded policy enforcement
and must have API Proxy is for Non-Mule Applications.
So, Non-Mule application is the right answer
What Mule application can have API policies applied by
Anypoint Platform to the endpoint exposed by that Mule application?
A) A Mule application that accepts requests over HTTP/1.x
A.
Option A
B.
Option B
C.
Option C
D.
Option D
Option A
Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Option A
*****************************************
>> Anypoint API Manager and API policies are applicable to all types of HTTP/1.x APIs.
>> They are not applicable to WebSocket APIs, HTTP/2 APIs and gRPC APIs
