A Platinum customer uses the U.S. control plane and deploys applications to CloudHub in Singapore with a default log configuration. The compliance officer asks where the logs and monitoring data reside?


A. Logs are held in: Singapore and monitoring data is held in the United States


B. Logs and monitoring data are held in the United States


C. Logs are held in the United States and monitoring data is held in Singapore


D. Logs and monitoring data are held in Singapore





B.
  Logs and monitoring data are held in the United States

Explanation:
For applications deployed on CloudHub in a foreign region (e.g., Singapore), MuleSoft handles log and monitoring data in the region where the control plane resides. This data storage policy is standard for CloudHub deployments to maintain centralized log and monitoring data.

  • Explanation of Correct Answer (B):
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

An API is protected with a Client ID Enforcement policy and uses the default configuration. Access is requested for the client application to the API, and an approved contract now exists between the client application and the API. How can a consumer of this API avoid a 401 error "Unauthorized or invalid client application credentials"?


A. Send the obtained token as a header in every call


B. Send the obtained: client_id and client_secret in the request body


C. Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call


D. Send the obtained clent_id and client_secret in the header of every API Request call





C.
  Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call

Explanation:
When using the Client ID Enforcement policy with default settings, MuleSoft expects the client_id and client_secret to be provided in the URI parameters of each request. This policy is typically used to control and monitor access by validating that each request has valid credentials. Here’s how to avoid a 401 Unauthorized error:

Refer to the exhibit. An organization is running a Mule standalone runtime and has
configured Active Directory as the Anypoint Platform external Identity Provider. The organization does not have budget for other system components.

What policy should be applied to all instances of APIs in the organization to most
effecuvelyKestrict access to a specific group of internal users?


A.

Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be
configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users


B.

Apply a client ID enforcement policy; the specific group of users will configure their client applications to use their specific client credentials


C.

Apply an IP whitelist policy; only the specific users' workstations will be in the whitelist


D.

Apply an OAuth 2.0 access token enforcement policy; the internal Active Directory will be configured as the OAuth server





A.
  

Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be
configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory
will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.
*****************************************
>> IP Whitelisting does NOT fit for this purpose. Moreover, the users workstations may not
necessarily have static IPs in the network.
>> OAuth 2.0 enforcement requires a client provider which isn't in the organizations system
components.
>> It is not an effective approach to let every user create separate client credentials and
configure those for their usage.
The effective way it to apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy and the internal Active
Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.

A. Option A


B. Option B


C. Option C


D. Option D


E. Option E





A.
  Option A

C.
  Option C

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.

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.

When using CloudHub with the Shared Load Balancer, what is managed EXCLUSIVELY
by the API implementation (the Mule application) and NOT by Anypoint Platform?


A.

The assignment of each HTTP request to a particular CloudHub worker


B.

The logging configuration that enables log entries to be visible in Runtime Manager


C.

The SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS endpoints


D.

The number of DNS entries allocated to the API implementation





C.
  

The SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS endpoints



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS
endpoints
*****************************************
>> The assignment of each HTTP request to a particular CloudHub worker is taken care by
Anypoint Platform itself. We need not manage it explicitly in the API implementation and in
fact we CANNOT manage it in the API implementation.
>> The logging configuration that enables log entries to be visible in Runtime Manager is
ALWAYS managed in the API implementation and NOT just for SLB. So this is not
something we do EXCLUSIVELY when using SLB.
>> We DO NOT manage the number of DNS entries allocated to the API implementation
inside the code. Anypoint Platform takes care of this.
It is the SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS endpoints that
is to be managed EXCLUSIVELY by the API implementation. Anypoint Platform does NOT
do this when using SLBs.
