An eCommerce company is adding a new Product Details feature to their website, A customer will launch the product catalog page, a new Product Details link will appear by product where they can click to retrieve the product detail description. Product detail data is updated with product update releases, once or twice a year, Presently the database response time has been very slow due to high volume. What action retrieves the product details with the lowest response time, fault tolerant, and consistent data?


A. Select the product details from a database in a Cache scope and return them within the API response


B. Select the product details from a database and put them in Anypoint MQ; the Anypoint MO subseriber will receive the product details and return them within the API response


C. Use an object store to store and retrieve the product details originally read from a database and return them within the API response


D. Select the product details from a database and return them within the API response





C.
  Use an object store to store and retrieve the product details originally read from a database and return them within the API response

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: System Layer

An organization wants MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane features (such as HTTP load balancing, zero downtime, and horizontal and vertical scaling) in its Azure environment. What runtime plane minimizes the organization's effort to achieve these features?


A.

Anypoint Runtime Fabric


B.

Anypoint Platform for Pivotal Cloud Foundry


C.

CloudHub


D.

A hybrid combination of customer-hosted and MuleSoft-hosted Mule runtimes





A.
  

Anypoint Runtime Fabric



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Anypoint Runtime Fabric
*****************************************
>> When a customer is already having an Azure environment, It is not at all an ideal
approach to go with hybrid model having some Mule Runtimes hosted on Azure and some
on MuleSoft. This is unnecessary and useless.
>> CloudHub is a Mulesoft-hosted Runtime plane and is on AWS. We cannot customize to
point CloudHub to customer's Azure environment.
>> Anypoint Platform for Pivotal Cloud Foundry is specifically for infrastructure provided by
Pivotal Cloud Foundry
>> Anypoint Runtime Fabric is right answer as it is a container service that automates the
deployment and orchestration of Mule applications and API gateways. Runtime Fabric runs
within a customer-managed infrastructure on AWS, Azure, virtual machines (VMs), and
bare-metal servers.
-Some of the capabilities of Anypoint Runtime Fabric include:
-Isolation between applications by running a separate Mule runtime per application.
-Ability to run multiple versions of Mule runtime on the same set of resources.
-Scaling applications across multiple replicas.
-Automated application fail-over.
-Application management with Anypoint Runtime Manager.

A company has started to create an application network and is now planning to implement a Center for Enablement (C4E) organizational model. What key factor would lead the company to decide upon a federated rather than a centralized C4E?


A.

When there are a large number of existing common assets shared by development teams


B.

When various teams responsible for creating APIs are new to integration and hence need extensive training


C.

When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups


D.

When the majority of the applications in the application network are cloud based





C.
  

When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When development is already organized into several independent
initiatives or groups
*****************************************
>> It would require lot of process effort in an organization to have a single C4E team
coordinating with multiple already organized development teams which are into several
independent initiatives. A single C4E works well with different teams having at least a
common initiative. So, in this scenario, federated C4E works well instead of centralized
C4E.

Which out-of-the-box key performance indicator measures the success of a typical Center for Enablement and is immediately available in responses from Anypoint Platform APIs?


A. Per business group, the ratio of the number of production APT implementations deployed using a C1/CD pipeline to the number of production API implementations deployed manually


B. Per deployed API implementation, the amount of bandwidth consumed each day


C. Per published API, the number of developers that downloaded s version of the API specification


D. Per published API, the number of consumers that requested access to the API and have been approved in the Production environment





D.
  Per published API, the number of consumers that requested access to the API and have been approved in the Production environment

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:

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

policies

A company is building an application network using MuleSoft's recommendations for various API layers. What is the main (default) role of a process API in an application network?


A. To secure and optimize the data synchronization processing of large data dumps between back-end systems


B. To manage and process the secure direct communication between a back-end system and an end-user client of mobile device in the application network


C. To automate parts of business processes by coordinating and orchestrating the invocation of other APIs in the application network


D. To secure, Manage, and process communication with specific types of end-user client applications or devices in the application network





C.
  To automate parts of business processes by coordinating and orchestrating the invocation of other APIs in the application network

Explanation:

  • Role of Process API in API-led Connectivity:
  • Evaluating the Options:
Conclusion:
Refer to MuleSoft's API-led connectivity documentation for further explanation of the roles and responsibilities of Process APIs in an application network.
