MuleSoft Certified Architect MCIA-Level-1 MuleSoft Study Notes

Explanation

High availability is about up-time of your application

A) High availability can be achieved only in CloudHub isn't correct statement. It can be achieved in customer hosted runtime planes as well

B) An object store is a facility for storing objects in or across Mule applications. Mule runtime engine (Mule) uses object stores to persist data for eventual retrieval. It can be used for disaster recovery but not for High Availability. Using object store can't guarantee that all instances won't go down at once. So not an appropriate choice.

Explanation

* When you create an Anypoint VPC, the range of IP addresses for the network must be specified in the form of a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block, using CIDR notation.

* This address space is reserved for Mule workers, so it cannot overlap with any address space used in your data center if you want to peer it with your VPC.

* To calculate the proper sizing for your Anypoint VPC, you first need to understand that the number of dedicated IP addresses is not the same as the number of workers you have deployed.

* For each worker deployed to CloudHub, the following IP assignation takes place: For better fault tolerance, the VPC subnet may be divided into up to four Availability Zones.

* A few IP addresses are reserved for infrastructure. At least two IP addresses per worker to perform at zero-downtime.

* Hence in this scenario 2048 IP's are required to support the requirement.

To improve delivery quality, a MuleSoft integration team should adopt automated testing with MUnit. MUnit is MuleSoft's testing framework that allows developers to create, design, and run unit and integration tests on their Mule applications. Automated testing with MUnit ensures that each part of the Mule application is tested for correctness and performance, catching issues early in the development cycle. This practice leads to higher quality code, reduced defects, and more reliable integrations.

Other practices mentioned, such as continuous design with API Designer and passive monitoring with Anypoint Monitoring, are important but do not directly address the need for rigorous and automated testing to ensure quality.
