A company wants to move its Mule API implementations into production as quickly as possible. To protect access to all Mule application data and metadata, the company requires that all Mule applications be deployed to the company's customer-hosted infrastructure within the corporate firewall. What combination of runtime plane and control plane options meets these project lifecycle goals?
Correct Answer:
A
Correct Answer
Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane
*****************************************
There are two key factors that are to be taken into consideration from the scenario given in the question.
>> Company requires both data and metadata to be resided within the corporate firewall
>> Company would like to go with customer-hosted infrastructure.
Any deployment model that is to deal with the cloud directly or indirectly (Mulesoft-hosted or Customer's own cloud like Azure, AWS) will have to share atleast the metadata.
Application data can be controlled inside firewall by having Mule Runtimes on customer hosted runtime plane. But if we go with Mulsoft-hosted/ Cloud-based control plane, the control plane required atleast some minimum level of metadata to be sent outside the corporate firewall.
As the customer requirement is pretty clear about the data and metadata both to be within the corporate firewall, even though customer wants to move to production as quickly as possible, unfortunately due to the nature of their security requirements, they have no other option but to go with manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane.
When using CloudHub with the Shared Load Balancer, what is managed EXCLUSIVELY by the API implementation (the Mule application) and NOT by Anypoint Platform?
Correct Answer:
C
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.
A REST API is being designed to implement a Mule application.
What standard interface definition language can be used to define REST APIs?
Correct Answer:
B
Refer to the exhibit. An organization is running a Mule standalone runtime and has configured Active Directory as the Anypoint Platform external Identity Provider. The organization does not have budget for other system components.
What policy should be applied to all instances of APIs in the organization to most effecuvelyKestrict access to a specific group of internal users?
Correct Answer:
A
Correct Answer
Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.
*****************************************
>> IP Whitelisting does NOT fit for this purpose. Moreover, the users workstations may not necessarily have static IPs in the network.
>> OAuth 2.0 enforcement requires a client provider which isn't in the organizations system components.
>> It is not an effective approach to let every user create separate client credentials and configure those for their usage.
The effective way it to apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy and the internal Active Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.
A Mule application exposes an HTTPS endpoint and is deployed to the CloudHub Shared Worker Cloud. All traffic to that Mule application must stay inside the AWS VPC.
To what TCP port do API invocations to that Mule application need to be sent?
Correct Answer:
D
Correct Answer 8082
*****************************************
>> 8091 and 8092 ports are to be used when keeping your HTTP and HTTPS app private to the LOCAL VPC respectively.
>> Above TWO ports are not for Shared AWS VPC/ Shared Worker Cloud.
>> 8081 is to be used when exposing your HTTP endpoint app to the internet through Shared LB
>> 8082 is to be used when exposing your HTTPS endpoint app to the internet through Shared LB So, API invocations should be sent to port 8082 when calling this HTTPS based app.
