Exactprep MuleSoft-Platform-Architect-I Questions

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.

Explanation of Correct Answer (B):

Option B accurately describes the situation, as the API will remain unavailable until the original AZ is restored.

CloudHub does not currently support automatic failover across regions or other availability zones within the same region for single-worker deployments on the shared cloud.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (auto-redeployment in the U.S. East region) is incorrect, as CloudHub does not migrate across regions automatically.

Option C (redeployment in another AZ within the U.S. West) is not a feature for single-worker deployments.

Option D (manual redeployment triggered by an admin) is unnecessary as CloudHub handles restarts automatically when the AZ is back online.

ReferencesRefer to MuleSoft CloudHub’s availability and disaster recovery documentation for more information on how CloudHub manages availability in shared environments​.

When a Basic Authentication policy is applied to an API on CloudHub but clients can still access the API without authentication, the likely cause is a missing Autodiscovery element. Here’s how this affects API security:

Autodiscovery in MuleSoft:

The Autodiscovery element is essential for linking an API implementation deployed in CloudHub with its API instance defined in API Manager. This connection allows the policies applied in API Manager, such as Basic Authentication, to be enforced on the deployed API.

Why Option B is Correct:

Without Autodiscovery, the deployed application does not "know" about the policies configured in API Manager, resulting in unrestricted access. Adding Autodiscovery enables the API to enforce the policies correctly.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (incorrect Exchange version) would not cause bypassing of security policies.

Option C (missing client applications) does not impact authentication policy enforcement.

Option D (worker restart) is irrelevant to policy enforcement.

ReferencesRefer to MuleSoft documentation on Autodiscovery configuration and linking API Manager policies for additional information on setting up secure API policies​.

Explanation

Correct Answer: By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications

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

>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.

>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is FALSE.

Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that - Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications.

Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development.

CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.

These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or automation.

Explanation

Correct Answers:

1. Each modern API must be treated like a product and designed for a particular target audience (for instance mobile app developers)
