MuleSoft-Platform-Architect-I Exam Dumps - Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect (Mule-Arch-201)

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.

Explanation

Correct Answer: A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network.

*****************************************

>> We do NOT get faster response times in fine-grained approach when compared to coarse-grained approach.

>> In fact, we get faster response times from a network having coarse-grained APIs compared to a network having fine-grained APIs model. The reasons are below.

Fine-grained approach:

1. will have more APIs compared to coarse-grained

2. So, more orchestration needs to be done to achieve a functionality in business process.

3. Which means, lots of API calls to be made. So, more connections will needs to be established. So, obviously more hops, more network i/o, more number of integration points compared to coarse-grained approach where fewer APIs with bulk functionality embedded in them.

4. That is why, because of all these extra hops and added latencies, fine-grained approach will have bit more response times compared to coarse-grained.

5. Not only added latencies and connections, there will be more resources used up in fine-grained approach due to more number of APIs.

That's why, fine-grained APIs are good in a way to expose more number of resuable assets in your network and make them discoverable. However, needs more maintenance, taking care of integration points, connections, resources with a little compromise w.r.t network hops and response times.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The API consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation

*****************************************

Terminology:

>> API Client - It is a piece of code or program the is written to invoke an API

>> API Consumer - An owner/entity who owns the API Client. API Consumers write API clients.

>> API - The provider of the API functionality. Typically an API Instance on API Manager where they are managed and operated.

>> API Implementation - The actual piece of code written by API provider where the functionality of the API is implemented. Typically, these are Mule Applications running on Runtime Manager.

Explanation

Correct Answer: At the API proxy

*****************************************

>> API Policies can be enforced at two places in Mule platform.

>> One - As an Embedded Policy enforcement in the same Mule Runtime where API implementation is running.

>> Two - On an API Proxy sitting in front of the Mule Runtime where API implementation is running.

>> As the deployment scenario in the question has API Proxy involved, the policies will be enforced at the API Proxy.

Understanding API Autodiscovery in MuleSoft:

API Autodiscovery links an API implementation in Anypoint Platform with its configuration in API Manager. This is controlled by the API ID which is set in the API Autodiscovery element in the Mule application.

The API ID remains consistent across minor updates to the API asset version in Exchange (e.g., from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1) as long as it is the same API.

Effect of Asset Version Update on API Autodiscovery:

When the asset version is updated (e.g., from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1), the API ID remains the same. Therefore, no changes are needed in the Autodiscovery configuration within the Mule application. The Autodiscovery will continue to link the API implementation to the latest version in API Manager.

Evaluating the Options:

Option A: Incorrect, as the API ID does not automatically change with minor asset version updates.

Option B: Incorrect, as the API ID remains the same, so no update is needed in the API implementation.

Option C (Correct Answer): The API ID does not change, so no changes are necessary in the API implementation for the new asset version.

Option D: Incorrect, as there is no need to update the API implementation in the Autodiscovery global element for minor version changes.

Conclusion:

Option C is the correct answer, as the API ID remains unchanged with minor version updates, and no changes are needed in the API Autodiscovery configuration.

Refer to MuleSoft documentation on API Autodiscovery and version management for more details.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The visibility level of the API instances of that API that need to be publicly accessible should be set to public visibility.

*****************************************

In the initial meeting for establishing a Center for Enablement (C4E), it’s essential to lay the foundational vision, objectives, and guiding principles for the team. Here’s why this is crucial:

Clear Vision and Mission:

Defining the mission statement and objectives at the start ensures alignment within the organization and clarifies the C4E’s role in supporting API-led development and integration practices.

Guiding Principles:

Establishing guiding principles will help the C4E maintain consistent practices and strategies across projects. This serves as a framework for decisions and fosters shared understanding among IT leaders and stakeholders.

Explanation of Correct Answer (A):

By prioritizing the C4E’s objectives and mission, the organization builds a solid foundation, paving the way for subsequent meetings focused on technical standards, processes, and operating models.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option B (API monetization) and Option C (common services best practices) are specific topics better suited for later discussions.

Option D (specifying the operating model) is an important step but typically follows the establishment of the C4E’s objectives and vision.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS endpoints

*****************************************

>> The assignment of each HTTP request to a particular CloudHub worker is taken care by Anypoint Platform itself. We need not manage it explicitly in the API implementation and in fact we CANNOT manage it in the API implementation.

>> The logging configuration that enables log entries to be visible in Runtime Manager is ALWAYS managed in the API implementation and NOT just for SLB. So this is not something we do EXCLUSIVELY when using SLB.

>> We DO NOT manage the number of DNS entries allocated to the API implementation inside the code. Anypoint Platform takes care of this.

It is the SSL certificates used by the API implementation to expose HTTPS endpoints that is to be managed EXCLUSIVELY by the API implementation. Anypoint Platform does NOT do this when using SLBs.
