An organization has deployed both Mule and non-Mule API implementations to integrate its customer and order management systems. All the APIs are available to REST clients on the public internet.
The organization wants to monitor these APIs by running health checks: for example, to determine if an API can properly accept and process requests. The organization does not have subscriptions to any external monitoring tools and also does not want to extend its IT footprint.
What Anypoint Platform feature provides the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) way to monitor the availability of both the Mule and the non-Mule API implementations?
An external API frequently invokes an Employees System API to fetch employee data from a MySQL database. The architect must design a caching strategy to query the database only when there Is an update to the Employees table or else return a cached response in order to minimize the number of redundant transactions being handled by the database.
Refer to the exhibit.
An organization is sizing an Anypoint VPC for the non-production deployments of those Mule applications that connect to the organization's on-premises systems. This applies to approx. 60 Mule applications. Each application is deployed to two CloudHub i workers. The organization currently has three non-production environments (DEV, SIT and UAT) that share this VPC. The AWS region of the VPC has two AZs.
The organization has a very mature DevOps approach which automatically progresses each application through all non-production environments before automatically deploying to production. This process results in several Mule application deployments per hour, using CloudHub's normal zero-downtime deployment feature.
What is a CIDR block for this VPC that results in the smallest usable private IP address range?
According to MuleSoft, which deployment characteristic applies to a microservices application architecture?
What is maximum vCores can be allocated to application deployed to CloudHub?
An application load balancer routes requests to a RESTful web API secured by Anypoint Flex Gateway.
Which protocol is involved in the communication between the load balancer and the Gateway?
An organization currently uses a multi-node Mule runtime deployment model within their datacenter, so each Mule runtime hosts several Mule applications. The organization is planning to transition to a deployment model based on Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster. The organization has already created a standard Docker image containing a Mule runtime and all required dependencies (including a JVM), but excluding the Mule application itself.
What is an expected outcome of this transition to container-based Mule application deployments?
An external web UI application currently accepts occasional HTTP requests from client web browsers to change (insert, update, or delete) inventory pricing information in an inventory system's database. Each inventory pricing change must be transformed and then synchronized with multiple customer experience systems in near real-time (in under 10 seconds). New customer experience systems are expected to be added in the future.
The database is used heavily and limits the number of SELECT queries that can be made to the database to 10 requests per hour per user.
What is the most scalable, idiomatic (used for its intended purpose), decoupled. reusable, and maintainable integration mechanism available to synchronize each inventory pricing change with the various customer experience systems in near real-time?
Which productivity advantage does Anypoint Platform have to both implement and manage an AP?
An architect is designing a Mule application to meet the following two requirements:
1. The application must process files asynchronously and reliably from an FTPS server to a back-end database using VM intermediary queues for
load-balancing Mule events.
2. The application must process a medium rate of records from a source to a target system using a Batch Job scope.
To make the Mule application more reliable, the Mule application will be deployed to two CloudHub 1.0 workers.
Following MuleSoft-recommended best practices, how should the Mule application deployment typically be configured in Runtime Manger to best
support the performance and reliability goals of both the Batch Job scope and the file processing VM queues?
