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.

A European company has customers all across Europe, and the IT department is migrating from an older platform to MuleSoft. The main requirements are that the new platform should allow redeployments with zero downtime and deployment of applications to multiple runtime versions, provide security and speed, and utilize Anypoint MQ as the message service. Which runtime plane should the company select based on the requirements without additional network configuration?


A. Runtime Fabric on VMs / Bare Metal for the runtime plane


B. Customer-hosted runtime plane


C. MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane (CloudHub)


D. Anypoint Runtime Fabric on Self-Managed Kubernetes for the runtime plane





C.
  MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane (CloudHub)

Explanation:
For a European company with requirements such as zero-downtime redeployment, deployment to multiple runtime versions, secure and fast performance, and the use of Anypoint MQ without additional network configuration, CloudHub is the best choice for the following reasons:

  • Zero-Downtime Redeployment: CloudHub supports zero-downtime deployment, which allows seamless redeployment of applications without impacting availability. Support for Multiple Runtime Versions: CloudHub allows deploying applications across different Mule runtime versions, giving flexibility to test and migrate applications as needed.
  • Integrated Anypoint MQ: Anypoint MQ, which is fully integrated with CloudHub, provides reliable messaging across applications. Choosing CloudHub removes the need for additional network configurations, as Anypoint MQ can be directly accessed in this hosted environment.
  • Security and Performance: CloudHub offers secure networking, automatic scaling, and optimized performance without requiring a complex setup. This is managed by MuleSoft’s infrastructure, meeting the speed and security requirements with minimal overhead.
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:

For more information on CloudHub’s capabilities regarding zero-downtime deployments and integration with Anypoint MQ, refer to MuleSoft documentation on CloudHub.

Which statement is true about identity management and client management on Anypoint Platform?


A. If an external identity provider is configured, the SAML 2.0 bearer tokens issued by the identity provider cannot be used for invocations of the Anypoint Platform web APIs


B. If an external client provider is configured, it must be configured at the Anypoint Platform organization level and cannot be assigned to individual business groups and environments


C. Anypoint Platform supports configuring one external identity provider


D. Both client management and identity management require an identity provider





C.
  Anypoint Platform supports configuring one external identity provider

Explanation:
Anypoint Platform allows organizations to integrate one external identity provider (IdP) for identity and access management (IAM), supporting SSO and centralized user authentication.

  • Identity Provider Limit:
  • Explanation of Correct Answer (C):
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:
References:
For further details on identity management options, consult MuleSoft documentation on Anypoint Platform’s IAM capabilities.

What is most likely NOT a characteristic of an integration test for a REST API
implementation?


A.

The test needs all source and/or target systems configured and accessible


B.

The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged


C.

The test is triggered by an external HTTP request


D.

The test prepares a known request payload and validates the response payload





B.
  

The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and packaged



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The test runs immediately after the Mule application has been compiled
and packaged
*****************************************
>> Integration tests are the last layer of tests we need to add to be fully covered.
>> These tests actually run against Mule running with your full configuration in place and are tested from external source as they work in PROD.
>> These tests exercise the application as a whole with actual transports enabled. So,
external systems are affected when these tests run.
So, these tests do NOT run immediately after the Mule application has been compiled and
packaged.
FYI... Unit Tests are the one that run immediately after the Mule application has been
compiled and packaged.

In which layer of API-led connectivity, does the business logic orchestration reside?


A.

System Layer


B.

Experience Layer


C.

Process Layer





C.
  

Process Layer



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Process Layer
*****************************************
>> Experience layer is dedicated for enrichment of end user experience. This layer is to
meet the needs of different API clients/ consumers.
>> System layer is dedicated to APIs which are modular in nature and implement/ expose
various individual functionalities of backend systems
>> Process layer is the place where simple or complex business orchestration logic is
written by invoking one or many System layer modular APIs
So, Process Layer is the right answer.

What is true about automating interactions with Anypoint Platform using tools such as Anypoint Platform REST APIs, Anypoint CU, or the Mule Maven plugin?


A.

Access to Anypoint Platform APIs and Anypoint CU can be controlled separately through the roles and permissions in Anypoint Platform, so that specific users can get access to Anypoint CLI white others get access to the platform APIs


B.

Anypoint Platform APIs can ONLY automate interactions with CloudHub, while the Mule Maven plugin is required for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes


C.

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications


D.

API policies can be applied to the Anypoint Platform APIs so that ONLY certain LOBs have access to specific functions





C.
  

By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in
the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our
custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.
>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub
and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is
FALSE.
>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule
runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory
requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.
>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately
control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform
APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can
use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is
FALSE.
Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that - Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin
are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule
applications.
Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development.
CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.
These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or
automation.
