What is true about API implementations when dealing with legal regulations that require all data processing to be performed within a certain jurisdiction (such as in the USA or the EU)?


A.

They must avoid using the Object Store as it depends on services deployed ONLY to the US East region


B.

They must use a Jurisdiction-local external messaging system such as Active MQ rather than Anypoint MQ


C.

They must te deployed to Anypoint Platform runtime planes that are managed by Anypoint Platform control planes, with both planes in the same Jurisdiction


D.

They must ensure ALL data is encrypted both in transit and at rest





C.
  

They must te deployed to Anypoint Platform runtime planes that are managed by Anypoint Platform control planes, with both planes in the same Jurisdiction



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: They must be deployed to Anypoint Platform runtime planes that are
managed by Anypoint Platform control planes, with both planes in the same Jurisdiction.
*****************************************
>> As per legal regulations, all data processing to be performed within a certain jurisdiction.
Meaning, the data in USA should reside within USA and should not go out. Same way, the
data in EU should reside within EU and should not go out.
>> So, just encrypting the data in transit and at rest does not help to be compliant with the
rules. We need to make sure that data does not go out too.
>> The data that we are talking here is not just about the messages that are published to
Anypoint MQ. It includes the apps running, transaction states, application logs, events,
metric info and any other metadata. So, just replacing Anypoint MQ with a locally hosted
ActiveMQ does NOT help.
>> The data that we are talking here is not just about the key/value pairs that are stored in
Object Store. It includes the messages published, apps running, transaction states,
application logs, events, metric info and any other metadata. So, just avoiding using Object
Store does NOT help.
>> The only option left and also the right option in the given choices is to deploy application
on runtime and control planes that are both within the jurisdiction.

A code-centric API documentation environment should allow API consumers to investigate and execute API client source code that demonstrates invoking one or more APIs as part of representative scenarios. What is the most effective way to provide this type of code-centric API documentation environment using Anypoint Platform?


A. Enable mocking services for each of the relevant APIs and expose them via their Anypoint Exchange entry


B. Ensure the APIs are well documented through their Anypoint Exchange entries and API Consoles and share these pages with all API consumers


C. Create API Notebooks and include them in the relevant Anypoint Exchange entries


D. Make relevant APIs discoverable via an Anypoint Exchange entry





C.
  Create API Notebooks and include them in the relevant Anypoint Exchange entries

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Create API Notebooks and Include them in the relevant Anypoint
exchange entries
*****************************************
>> API Notebooks are the one on Anypoint Platform that enable us to provide code-centric
API documentation

A System API is designed to retrieve data from a backend system that has scalability challenges. What API policy can best safeguard the backend system?


A.

IPwhitelist


B.

SLA-based rate limiting


C.

Auth 2 token enforcement


D.

Client ID enforcement





B.
  

SLA-based rate limiting



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: SLA-based rate limiting
*****************************************
>> Client Id enforement policy is a "Compliance" related NFR and does not help in
maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". It CANNOT and NOT meant for protecting the
backend systems from scalability challenges.
>> IP Whitelisting and OAuth 2.0 token enforcement are "Security" related NFRs and again
does not help in maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". They CANNOT and are NOT
meant for protecting the backend systems from scalability challenges.
Rate Limiting, Rate Limiting-SLA, Throttling, Spike Control are the policies that are "Quality
of Service (QOS)" related NFRs and are meant to help in protecting the backend systems
from getting overloaded.

What is a key requirement when using an external Identity Provider for Client Management in Anypoint Platform?


A.

Single sign-on is required to sign in to Anypoint Platform


B.

The application network must include System APIs that interact with the Identity
Provider


C.

To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider


D.

APIs managed by Anypoint Platform must be protected by SAML 2.0 policies





C.
  

To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider



Explanation: https://www.folkstalk.com/2019/11/mulesoft-integration-and-platform.html
Explanation
Correct Answer: To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API
clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider
*****************************************
>> It is NOT necessary that single sign-on is required to sign in to Anypoint Platform
because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client Management
>> It is NOT necessary that all APIs managed by Anypoint Platform must be protected by
SAML 2.0 policies because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client
Management
>> Not TRUE that the application network must include System APIs that interact with the
Identity Provider because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client Management
Only TRUE statement in the given options is - "To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs
managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same
Identity Provider"

Mule applications that implement a number of REST APIs are deployed to their own subnet
that is inaccessible from outside the organization.
External business-partners need to access these APIs, which are only allowed to be
invoked from a separate subnet dedicated to partners - called Partner-subnet. This subnet
is accessible from the public internet, which allows these external partners to reach it.
Anypoint Platform and Mule runtimes are already deployed in Partner-subnet. These Mule
runtimes can already access the APIs.
What is the most resource-efficient solution to comply with these requirements, while
having the least impact on other applications that are currently using the APIs?


A.

Implement (or generate) an API proxy Mule application for each of the APIs, then deploy the API proxies to the Mule runtimes


B.

Redeploy the API implementations to the same servers running the Mule runtimes


C.

Add an additional endpoint to each API for partner-enablement consumption


D.

Duplicate the APIs as Mule applications, then deploy them to the Mule runtimes





A.
  

Implement (or generate) an API proxy Mule application for each of the APIs, then deploy the API proxies to the Mule runtimes



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
