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

  When preventing duplicate processing from multiple sent requests

A large organization with an experienced central IT department is getting started using MuleSoft. There is a project to connect a siloed back-end system to a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The Center for Enablement is coaching them to use API-led connectivity. What action would support the creation of an application network using API-led connectivity?


A. Invite the business analyst to create a business process model to specify the canonical data model between the two systems


B. Determine if the new CRM system supports the creation of custom: REST APIs, establishes 4 private network with CloudHub, and supports GAuth 2.0 authentication


C. To expedite this project, central IT should extend the CRM system and back-end systems to connect to one another using built in integration interfaces


D. Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API





D.
  Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API

Explanation:
For an organization starting with API-led connectivity to integrate a siloed back-end system with a new CRM, the following approach aligns with best practices and MuleSoft’s Center for Enablement (C4E) guidance:
API-led Connectivity: This model organizes APIs into distinct layers (System, Process, and Experience) to improve reusability, modularity, and manageability.

  • Step to Support Application Network:
  • Why Option D is Correct:
  • Explanation of Incorrect Options:

A company wants to move its Mule API implementations into production as quickly as
possible. To protect access to all Mule application data and metadata, the company
requires that all Mule applications be deployed to the company's customer-hosted
infrastructure within the corporate firewall. What combination of runtime plane and control
plane options meets these project lifecycle goals?


A.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


B.

MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane


C.

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane


D.

iPaaS provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane





A.
  

Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane



Explanation:
Explanation
Correct Answer: Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane
*****************************************
There are two key factors that are to be taken into consideration from the scenario given in
the question.
>> Company requires both data and metadata to be resided within the corporate firewall
>> Company would like to go with customer-hosted infrastructure.
Any deployment model that is to deal with the cloud directly or indirectly (Mulesoft-hosted
or Customer's own cloud like Azure, AWS) will have to share atleast the metadata.
Application data can be controlled inside firewall by having Mule Runtimes on customer
hosted runtime plane. But if we go with Mulsoft-hosted/ Cloud-based control plane, the
control plane required atleast some minimum level of metadata to be sent outside the
corporate firewall.
As the customer requirement is pretty clear about the data and metadata both to be within
the corporate firewall, even though customer wants to move to production as quickly as
possible, unfortunately due to the nature of their security requirements, they have no other
option but to go with manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customerhosted
control plane.

An Order API must be designed that contains significant amounts of integration logic and
involves the invocation of the Product API.
The power relationship between Order API and Product API is one of "Customer/Supplier",
because the Product API is used heavily throughout the organization and is developed by a
dedicated development team located in the office of the CTO.
What strategy should be used to deal with the API data model of the Product API within the
Order API?


A.

Convince the development team of the Product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that the integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model


B.

Work with the API data types of the Product API directly when implementing the integration logic of the Order API such that the Order API uses the same (unchanged) data types as the Product API


C.

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API


D.

Start an organization-wide data modeling initiative that will result in an Enterprise Data
Model that will then be used in both the Product API and the Order API





C.
  

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data
model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one
consistent internal data model
*****************************************
Key details to note from the given scenario:
>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier
So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would
request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need
to accomodate those requests.
