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.

An organization requires several APIs to be secured with OAuth 2.0, and PingFederate has been identified as the identity provider for API client authorization, The PingFederate Client Provider is configured in access management, and the PingFederate OAuth 2.0 Token Enforcement policy is configured for the API instances required by the organization. The API instances reside in two business groups (Group A and Group B) within the Master Organization (Master Org). What should be done to allow API consumers to access the API instances?


A. The API administrator should configure the correct client discovery URL in both child business groups, and the API consumer should request access to the API in Ping Identity


B. The API administrator should grant access to the API consumers by creating contracts in the relevant API instances in API Manager


C. The APL consumer should create a client application and request access to the APT in Anypoint Exchange, and the API administrator should approve the request


D. The APT consumer should create a client application and request access to the API in Ping Identity, and the organization's Ping Identity workflow will grant access





C.
  The APL consumer should create a client application and request access to the APT in Anypoint Exchange, and the API administrator should approve the request

An API experiences a high rate of client requests (TPS) vwth small message paytoads.
How can usage limits be imposed on the API based on the type of client application?


A.

Use an SLA-based rate limiting policy and assign a client application to a matching SLA
tier based on its type


B.

Use a spike control policy that limits the number of requests for each client application
type


C.

Use a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) policy to limit resource sharing between
client applications, configured by the client application type


D.

Use a rate limiting policy and a client ID enforcement policy, each configured by the
client application type





A.
  

Use an SLA-based rate limiting policy and assign a client application to a matching SLA
tier based on its type



Explanation: Correct Answer: Use an SLA-based rate limiting policy and assign a client
application to a matching SLA tier based on its type.
*****************************************
>> SLA tiers will come into play whenever any limits to be imposed on APIs based on client
type

An Order API triggers a sequence of other API calls to look up details of an order's items in a back-end inventory database. The Order API calls the OrderItems process API, which calls the Inventory system API. The Inventory system API performs database operations in the back-end inventory database.
The network connection between the Inventory system API and the database is known to be unreliable and hang at unpredictable times.
Where should a two-second timeout be configured in the API processing sequence so that the Order API never waits more than two seconds for a response from the Orderltems process API?


A. In the Orderltems process API implementation


B. In the Order API implementation


C. In the Inventory system API implementation


D. In the inventory database





A.
  In the Orderltems process API implementation

An auto manufacturer has a mature CI/CD practice and wants to automate packaging and deployment of any Mule applications to various deployment targets, including CloudHub workers/replicas, customer-hosted Mule runtimes, and Anypoint Runtime Fabric. Which MuleSoft-provided tool or component facilitates automating the packaging and deployment of Mule applications to various deployment targets as part of the company's CI/CD practice?


A. Anypoint Runtime Manager


B. Mule Maven plugin


C. Anypoint Platform CLI


D. Anypoint Platform REST APIs





B.
  Mule Maven plugin

Explanation:
For organizations with established CI/CD practices, the Mule Maven plugin is the recommended tool for automating packaging and deployment across multiple environments, including CloudHub, on-premise Mule runtimes, and Anypoint Runtime Fabric. Here’s why:

  • Automation with Maven:
  • Supported Deployment Targets:
  • Why Option B is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
For more details, refer to MuleSoft documentation on using the Mule Maven plugin for CI/CD.

Refer to the exhibit.

An organization uses one specific CloudHub (AWS) region for all CloudHub deployments.
How are CloudHub workers assigned to availability zones (AZs) when the organization's
Mule applications are deployed to CloudHub in that region?


A.

Workers belonging to a given environment are assigned to the same AZ within that region


B.

AZs are selected as part of the Mule application's deployment configuration


C.

Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region


D.

An AZ is randomly selected for a Mule application, and all the Mule application's CloudHub workers are assigned to that one AZ





D.
  

An AZ is randomly selected for a Mule application, and all the Mule application's CloudHub workers are assigned to that one AZ



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region.
*****************************************
>> Currently, we only have control to choose which AWS Region to choose but there is no
control at all using any configurations or deployment options to decide what Availability
Zone (AZ) to assign to what worker.
>> There are NO fixed or implicit rules on platform too w.r.t assignment of AZ to workers
based on environment or application.
>> They are completely assigned in random. However, cloudhub definitely ensures that
HA is achieved by assigning the workers to more than on AZ so that all workers are not
assigned to same AZ for same application.

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





D.
  

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
