MCPA-Level-1 Exam Dumps - MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect Questions and Answers

Explanation

Correct Answer: An SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided.

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

>> First thing first, the default HTTP response timeout for HTTP connector is 10000 ms (10 seconds). NOT 500 ms.

>> Mule runtime does NOT apply any such "load-dependent" timeouts. There is no such behavior currently in Mule.

>> As there is default 10000 ms time out for HTTP connector, we CANNOT always guarantee that the invocation of the downstream API will run to completion without timing out due to its unreliable SLA times. If the response time crosses 10 seconds then the request may time out.

The main impact due to this is that a proper SLA for the upstream API CANNOT be provided.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Ask the Marketing Department to interact with a mocking implementation of the API using the automatically generated API Console.

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

As per MuleSoft's IT Operating Model:

>> API consumers need NOT wait until the full API implementation is ready.

>> NO technical test-suites needs to be shared with end users to interact with APIs.

>> Anypoint Platform offers a mocking capability on all the published API specifications to Anypoint Exchange which also will be rich in documentation covering all details of API functionalities and working nature.

>> No needs of arranging days of workshops with end users for feedback.

API consumers can use Anypoint Exchange features on the platform and interact with the API using its mocking feature. The feedback can be shared quickly on the same to incorporate any changes.

Explanation

Correct Answer: API-led connectivity is not just an architecture or technology but also a way to organize people and processes for efficient IT delivery in the organization.

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

Explanation

Correct Answer: Create API Notebooks and Include them in the relevant Anypoint exchange entries

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

>> API Notebooks are the one on Anypoint Platform that enable us to provide code-centric API documentation

Explanation

Correct Answer: The remaining capacity allowed by the API implementation.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The CloudHub shared load balancer

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

The scenario in this question can be split as below:

>> There are 3 CloudHub workers (So, there are already good number of workers to handle high volume of requests)

>> The workers are not using static IP addresses (So, one CANNOT use customer load-balancing solutions without static IPs)

>> Looking for most cost-effective component to load balance the client requests among the workers.

Based on the above details given in the scenario:

>> Runtime autoscaling is NOT at all cost-effective as it incurs extra cost. Most over, there are already 3 workers running which is a good number.

>> We cannot go for a customer-hosted load balancer as it is also NOT most cost-effective (needs custom load balancer to maintain and licensing) and same time the Mule App is not having Static IP Addresses which limits from going with custom load balancing.

>> An API Proxy is irrelevant there as it has no role to play w.r.t handling high volumes or load balancing.

So, the only right option to go with and fits the purpose of scenario being most cost-effective is - using a CloudHub Shared Load Balancer.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Bundle properties files for each environment into the Mule API implementation's deployable archive, then promote the Mule API implementation to the Production environment using Anypoint CLI or the Anypoint Platform REST APIs

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

>> Anypoint Exchange is for asset discovery and documentation. It has got no provision to modify the properties of Mule API implementations at all.

>> API Manager is for managing API instances, their contracts, policies and SLAs. It has also got no provision to modify the properties of API implementations.

>> API policies are to address Non-functional requirements of APIs and has again got no provision to modify the properties of API implementations.

So, the right way and recommended way to do this as part of development practice is to bundle properties files for each environment into the Mule API implementation and just point and refer to respective file per environment.
