NEW QUESTION # 140
What aspects of a CI/CD pipeline for Mule applications can be automated using MuleSoft-provided Maven plugins?
- A. Compile, package, unit test, deploy, create associated API instances in API Manager
- B. Compile, package, unit test, validate unit test coverage, deploy
- C. Compile, package, unit test, deploy, integration test (Incorrect)
- D. Import from API designer, compile, package, unit test, deploy, publish to Anypoint Exchange
Answer: B
Explanation:
Correct answer is "Compile, package, unit test, validate unit test coverage, deploy" : Anypoint Platform supports continuous integration and continuous delivery using industry standard tools Mule Maven Plugin The Mule Maven plugin can automate building, packaging and deployment of Mule applications from source projects Using the Mule Maven plugin, you can automate your Mule application deployment to CloudHub, to Anypoint Runtime Fabric, or on-premises, using any of the following deployment strategies * CloudHub deployment * Runtime Fabric deployment * Runtime Manager REST API deployment * Runtime Manager agent deployment MUnit Maven Plugin The MUnit Maven plugin can automate test execution, and ties in with the Mule Maven plugin. It provides a full suite of integration and unit test capabilities, and is fully integrated with Maven and Surefire for integration with your continuous deployment environment. Since MUnit 2.x, the coverage report goal is integrated with the maven reporting section. Coverage Reports are generated during Maven's site lifecycle, during the coverage-report goal. One of the features of MUnit Coverage is to fail the build if a certain coverage level is not reached. MUnit is not used for integration testing Also publishing to Anypoint Exchange or to create associated API instances in API Manager is not a part of CICD pipeline which can ne achieved using mulesoft provided maven plugin Architecture mentioned in the question can be diagrammatically put as below. Persistent Object Store is the correct answer .
* Mule Object Stores: An object store is a facility for storing objects in or across Mule applications. Mule uses object stores to persist data for eventual retrieval.
Mule provides two types of object stores:
1) In-memory store - stores objects in local Mule runtime memory. Objects are lost on shutdown of the Mule runtime. So we cant use in memory store in our scenario as we want to share watermark within all cloudhub workers
2) Persistent store - Mule persists data when an object store is explicitly configured to be persistent. Hence this watermark will be available even any of the worker goes down

NEW QUESTION # 142
The ABC company has an Anypoint Runtime Fabric on VMs/Bare Metal (RTF-VM) appliance installed on its own customer-hosted AWS infrastructure.
Mule applications are deployed to this RTF-VM appliance. As part of the company standards, the Mule application logs must be forwarded to an external log management tool (LMT).
Given the company's current setup and requirements, what is the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) way to send Mule application logs to the external LMT?
- A. In RTF-VM. configure the out-of-the-box external log forwarder
- B. In each Mule application, configure custom Log4j settings
- C. In RTF-VM, edit the pod configuration to automatically install and configure an Anypoint Monitoring agent
- D. In RTF-VM, install and configure the external LTM's log-forwarding agent
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 143
What is a key difference between synchronous and asynchronous logging from Mule applications?
- A. Asynchronous logging can improve Mule event processing throughput while also reducing the processing time for each Mule event
- B. Synchronous logging within an ongoing transaction writes log messages in the same thread that processes the current Mule event
- C. Synchronous logging writes log messages in a single logging thread but does not block the Mule event being processed by the next event processor
- D. Asynchronous logging produces more reliable audit trails with more accurate timestamps
Answer: A
Explanation:
Types of logging:
A) Synchronous: The execution of thread that is processing messages is interrupted to wait for the log message to be fully handled before it can continue.
* The execution of the thread that is processing your message is interrupted to wait for the log message to be fully output before it can continue
* Performance degrades because of synchronous logging
* Used when the log is used as an audit trail or when logging ERROR/CRITICAL messages
* If the logger fails to write to disk, the exception would raise on the same thread that's currently processing the Mule event. If logging is critical for you, then you can rollback the transaction.

B) Asynchronous:
* The logging operation occurs in a separate thread, so the actual processing of your message won't be delayed to wait for the logging to complete
* Substantial improvement in throughput and latency of message processing
* Mule runtime engine (Mule) 4 uses Log4j 2 asynchronous logging by default
* The disadvantage of asynchronous logging is error handling.
* If the logger fails to write to disk, the thread doing the processing won't be aware of any issues writing to the disk, so you won't be able to rollback anything. Because the actual writing of the log gets differed, there's a chance that log messages might never make it to disk and get lost, if Mule were to crash before the buffers are flushed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So Correct answer is: Asynchronous logging can improve Mule event processing throughput while also reducing the processing time for each Mule event

- A. Call each API request in a separate route of a Scatter-Gather
- B. Call each API request in a separate Async scope
- C. Call each API request in a separate route of a Parallel For Each scope
- D. Call each API request in a separate lookup call from a DataWeave reduce operator
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 145
A banking company is developing a new set of APIs for its online business. One of the critical API's is a master lookup API which is a system API. This master lookup API uses persistent object store. This API will be used by all other APIs to provide master lookup data.
Master lookup API is deployed on two cloudhub workers of 0.1 vCore each because there is a lot of master data to be cached. Master lookup data is stored as a key value pair. The cache gets refreshed if they key is not found in the cache.
Doing performance testing it was observed that the Master lookup API has a higher response time due to database queries execution to fetch the master lookup data.
Due to this performance issue, go-live of the online business is on hold which could cause potential financial loss to Bank.
As an integration architect, which of the below option you would suggest to resolve performance issue?
- A. Upgrade vCore size from 0.1 vCore to 0,2 vCore
- B. Implement HTTP caching policy for all GET endpoints for master lookup API
- C. Implement HTTP caching policy for all GET endpoints for the master lookup API and implement locking to synchronize access to object store
- D. Add an additional Cloudhub worker to provide additional capacity
Answer: C

NEW QUESTION # 147
An organization will deploy Mule applications to Cloudhub, Business requirements mandate that all application logs be stored ONLY in an external splunk consolidated logging service and NOT in Cloudhub.
In order to most easily store Mule application logs ONLY in Splunk, how must Mule application logging be configured in Runtime Manager, and where should the log4j2 splunk appender be defined?
- A. Keep the default logging configuration in Runtime Manager
Define the Splunk appender in EACH Mule application log4j2.xml file - B. Disable Cloudhub logging in Runtime Manager
Define the splunk appender in ONE global log4j.xml file that is uploaded once to Runtime Manger to support at Mule application deployments. - C. Disable Cloudhub logging in Runtime Manager
Define the splunk appender in EACH Mule application's log4j2.xml file - D. Keep the default logging configuration in RuntimeManager
Define the splunk appender in ONE global log4j.xml file that is uploaded once to Runtime Manager to support at Mule application deployments.
Answer: C
Explanation:
By default, CloudHub replaces a Mule application's log4j2.xml file with a CloudHub log4j2.xml file. In CloudHub, you can disable the CloudHub provided Mule application log4j2 file. This allows integrating Mule application logs with custom or third-party log management systems

NEW QUESTION # 154
What Mule application can have API policies applied by Anypoint Platform to the endpoint exposed by that Mule application?
- A. A Mule application that accepts JSON requests over WebSocket
- B. A Mule application that accepts gRPC requests over HTTP/2
- C. A Mule application that accepts requests over HTTP/1x
- D. A Mule application that accepts JSON requests over TCP but is NOT required to provide a response.
Answer: C
Explanation:
* HTTP/1.1 keeps all requests and responses in plain text format.
* HTTP/2 uses the binary framing layer to encapsulate all messages in binary format, while still maintaining HTTP semantics, such as verbs, methods, and headers. It came into use in 2015, and offers several methods to decrease latency, especially when dealing with mobile platforms and server-intensive graphics and videos
* Currently, Mule application can have API policies only for Mule application that accepts requests over HTTP/1x

NEW QUESTION # 156
What condition requires using a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer?
- A. When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients
- B. When API invocations across multiple CloudHub workers must be load balanced
- C. When custom DNS names are required for API implementations deployed to customer-hosted Mule runtimes
- D. When cross-region load balancing is required between separate deployments of the same Mule application
Answer: A
Explanation:
Correct answer is When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients CloudHub dedicated load balancers (DLBs) are an optional component of Anypoint Platform that enable you to route external HTTP and HTTPS traffic to multiple Mule applications deployed to CloudHub workers in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Dedicated load balancers enable you to: * Handle load balancing among the different CloudHub workers that run your application. * Define SSL configurations to provide custom certificates and optionally enforce two-way SSL client authentication. * Configure proxy rules that map your applications to custom domains. This enables you to host your applications under a single domain
NEW QUESTION # 157
A Mule application name Pub uses a persistence object store. The Pub Mule application is deployed to Cloudhub and it configured to use Object Store v2.
Another Mule application name sub is being developed to retrieve values from the Pub Mule application persistence object Store and will also be deployed to cloudhub.
What is the most direct way for the Sub Mule application to retrieve values from the Pub Mule application persistence object store with the least latency?
- A. Use a VM connector configured to directly access the persistence queue of the Pub Mule application persistence object store.
- B. Use an Anypoint MQ connector configured to directly access the Pub Mule application persistence object store
- C. Use the Object store v2 REST API configured to access the Pub Mule application persistence object store.
- D. Use an object store connector configured to access the Pub Mule application persistence object store
Answer: C
Explanation:
* The Object Store V2 API enables API access to Anypoint Platform Object Store v2.
* You can configure a Mule app to use the Object Store REST API to store and retrieve values from an object store in another Mule app. However, Object Store v2 is not designed for app-to-app communication. To share data between two Mule4 apps, use a queue in Anypoint MQ.
* The Object Store v2 APIs enable you to use REST to perform the following:
- Retrieve a list of object stores and keys associated with an application.
- Store and retrieve key-value pairs in an object store.
- Delete key-value pairs from an object store.
- Retrieve Object Store usage statistics for your organization.
- Object Store provides these APIs:
Object Store API
Object Store Stats API
