An organization has several APIs that accept JSON data over HTTP POST. The APIs are
all publicly available and are associated with several mobile applications and web
applications.
The organization does NOT want to use any authentication or compliance policies for these
APIs, but at the same time, is worried that some bad actor could send payloads that could
somehow compromise the applications or servers running the API implementations.
What out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform policy can address exposure to this threat?


A.

Shut out bad actors by using HTTPS mutual authentication for all API invocations


B.

Apply an IP blacklist policy to all APIs; the blacklist will Include all bad actors


C.

Apply a Header injection and removal policy that detects the malicious data before it is used


D.

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors





D.
  

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat
vectors
*****************************************
>> Usually, if the APIs are designed and developed for specific consumers (known
consumers/customers) then we would IP Whitelist the same to ensure that traffic only
comes from them.
>> However, as this scenario states that the APIs are publicly available and being used by
so many mobile and web applications, it is NOT possible to identify and blacklist all
possible bad actors.
>> So, JSON threat protection policy is the best chance to prevent any bad JSON payloads
from such bad actors.

An organization is deploying their new implementation of the OrderStatus System API to
multiple workers in CloudHub. This API fronts the organization's on-premises Order
Management System, which is accessed by the API implementation over an IPsec tunnel.
What type of error typically does NOT result in a service outage of the OrderStatus System
API?


A.

A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception


B.

API Manager has an extended outage during the initial deployment of the API
implementation


C.

The AWS region goes offline with a major network failure to the relevant AWS data centers


D.

The Order Management System is Inaccessible due to a network outage in the
organization's on-premises data center





A.
  

A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception.
*****************************************
>> An AWS Region itself going down will definitely result in an outage as it does not matter
how many workers are assigned to the Mule App as all of those in that region will go down.
This is a complete downtime and outage.
>> Extended outage of API manager during initial deployment of API implementation will of
course cause issues in proper application startup itself as the API Autodiscovery might fail
or API policy templates and polices may not be downloaded to embed at the time of
applicaiton startup etc... there are many reasons that could cause issues.
>> A network outage onpremises would of course cause the Order Management System
not accessible and it does not matter how many workers are assigned to the app they all
will fail and cause outage for sure.
The only option that does NOT result in a service outage is if a cloudhub worker fails with
an out-of-memory exception. Even if a worker fails and goes down, there are still other
workers to handle the requests and keep the API UP and Running. So, this is the right
answer.

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.

A large company wants to implement IT infrastructure in its own data center, based on the corporate IT policy requirements that data and metadata reside locally. Which combination of Mule control plane and Mule runtime plane(s) meets the requirements?


A. Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition for the control plane and the MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane


B. The MuleSoft-hosted control plane and Anypoint Runtime Fabric for the runtime plane


C. The MuleSoft-hosted control plane and customer-hosted Mule runtimes for the runtime plane


D. Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition for the control plane and customer-hosted Mule runtimes for the runtime plane





D.
  Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition for the control plane and customer-hosted Mule runtimes for the runtime plane

Explanation:

  • Understanding Control and Runtime Planes
  • Evaluating the Options
Conclusion:
Refer to MuleSoft's documentation on Private Cloud Edition deployment and on-premise runtime configurations for further details.

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.

A company deployed an API to a single worker/replica in the shared cloud in the U.S. West Region. What happens when the Availability Zone experiences an outage?


A. CloudHub will auto-redeploy the APL in the U.S. East Region


B. The APT will be unavailable until the availability comes back online, at which time the worker/replica will be auto-restarted


C. CloudHub will auto-redeploy the API in another Availability Zone in the U.S. West Region


D. The Anypoint Platform admin is alerted when the AP] is experiencing an outage and needs the trigger the CI/CD pipeline to redeploy to the US. East Region





B.
  The APT will be unavailable until the availability comes back online, at which time the worker/replica will be auto-restarted

Explanation:
In a CloudHub deployment with a single worker/replica located in a specific Availability Zone (AZ), if an AZ experiences an outage, here’s what happens:
Worker Availability: Since the application is deployed in a single AZ, CloudHub does not automatically redeploy the application in a different zone or region during an outage. Thus, if the current AZ is unavailable, the application will be offline.
Auto-Restart upon AZ Recovery: Once the affected AZ is back online, CloudHub will auto-restart the worker in the same AZ without manual intervention. This ensures that as soon as the AZ is functional, the application resumes automatically.

What Anypoint Connectors support transactions?

C.

Database, JMS, VM, SFTP


D.

Database, VM, File





A.
  

Database, JMS, VM



In an organization, the InfoSec team is investigating Anypoint Platform related data traffic. From where does most of the data available to Anypoint Platform for monitoring and alerting originate?


A.

From the Mule runtime or the API implementation, depending on the deployment model


B.

From various components of Anypoint Platform, such as the Shared Load Balancer, VPC, and Mule runtimes


C.

From the Mule runtime or the API Manager, depending on the type of data


D.

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model





D.
  

From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model
*****************************************
>> Monitoring and Alerting metrics are always originated from Mule Runtimes irrespective
of the deployment model.
>> It may seems that some metrics (Runtime Manager) are originated from Mule Runtime
and some are (API Invocations/ API Analytics) from API Manager. However, this is
realistically NOT TRUE. The reason is, API manager is just a management tool for API
instances but all policies upon applying on APIs eventually gets executed on Mule
Runtimes only (Either Embedded or API Proxy).
>> Similarly all API Implementations also run on Mule Runtimes.
So, most of the day required for monitoring and alerts are originated fron Mule Runtimes
only irrespective of whether the deployment model is MuleSoft-hosted or Customer-hosted
or Hybrid.
