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 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

The responses to some HTTP requests can be cached depending on the HTTP verb used
in the request. According to the HTTP specification, for what HTTP verbs is this safe to do?


A.

PUT, POST, DELETE


B.

GET, HEAD, POST


C.

GET, PUT, OPTIONS


D.

GET, OPTIONS, HEAD





D.
  

GET, OPTIONS, HEAD



What is typically NOT a function of the APIs created within the framework called API-led connectivity?


A.

They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system,
thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.


B.

They allow for innovation at the user Interface level by consuming the underlying assets
without being aware of how data Is being extracted from backend systems.


C.

They reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data
from backend systems In a reusable and consumable way.


D.

They can compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value.





A.
  

They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system,
thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying
backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
*****************************************
In API-led connectivity,
>> Experience APIs - allow for innovation at the user interface level by consuming the
underlying assets without being aware of how data is being extracted from backend
systems.
>> Process APIs - compose data from various sources and combine them with
orchestration logic to create higher level value
>> System APIs - reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping
unlock data from backend systems in a reusable and consumable way.
However, they NEVER promise that they provide an additional layer of resilience on top of
the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these
systems.

An API implementation is deployed to CloudHub.
What conditions can be alerted on using the default Anypoint Platform functionality, where
the alert conditions depend on the end-to-end request processing of the API
implementation?


A.

When the API is invoked by an unrecognized API client


B.

When a particular API client invokes the API too often within a given time period


C.

When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold


D.

When the API receives a very high number of API invocations





C.
  

When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold
*****************************************
>> Alerts can be setup for all the given options using the default Anypoint Platform
functionality
>> However, the question insists on an alert whose conditions depend on the end-to-end
request processing of the API implementation.
>> Alert w.r.t "Response Times" is the only one which requires end-to-end request
processing of API implementation in order to determine if the threshold is exceeded or not.

What correctly characterizes unit tests of Mule applications?


A.

They test the validity of input and output of source and target systems


B.

They must be run in a unit testing environment with dedicated Mule runtimes for the environment


C.

They must be triggered by an external client tool or event source


D.

They are typically written using MUnit to run in an embedded Mule runtime that does not require external connectivity





D.
  

They are typically written using MUnit to run in an embedded Mule runtime that does not require external connectivity



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: They are typically written using MUnit to run in an embedded Mule runtime
that does not require external connectivity.
*****************************************
Below TWO are characteristics of Integration Tests but NOT unit tests:
>> They test the validity of input and output of source and target systems.
>> They must be triggered by an external client tool or event source.
It is NOT TRUE that Unit Tests must be run in a unit testing environment with dedicated
Mule runtimes for the environment.
MuleSoft offers MUnit for writing Unit Tests and they run in an embedded Mule Runtime
without needing any separate/ dedicated Runtimes to execute them. They also do NOT
need any external connectivity as MUnit supports mocking via stubs.

When must an API implementation be deployed to an Anypoint VPC?


A.

When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance


B.

When the API implementation must be accessible within a subnet of a restricted customer-hosted network that does not allow public access


C.

When the API implementation must be deployed to a production AWS VPC using the Mule Maven plugin


D.

When the API Implementation must write to a persistent Object Store





A.
  

When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance



A circuit breaker strategy is planned in order to meet the goal of improved response time and demand on a downstream API.

  • Circuit Open: More than 10 errors per minute for three minutes
  • Circuit Half-Open: One error per minute
  • Circuit Closed: Less than one error per minute for five minutes
Out of several proposals from the engineering team, which option will meet this goal?


A. Create a custom policy that implements the circuit breaker and includes policy template expressions for the required settings


B. Create Anypoint Monitoring alerts for Circuit Open/Closed configurations, and then implement a retry strategy for Circuit Half-Open configuration


C. Add the Circuit Breaker policy to the API instance, and configure the required settings


D. Implement the strategy in a Mule application, and provide the settings in the YAML configuration





C.
  Add the Circuit Breaker policy to the API instance, and configure the required settings
