Salesforce Updated MuleSoft-Platform-Architect-I Exam Questions and Answers by layla-rose

When an API policy requiring a client ID and client secret is applied to an API instance in API Manager, API consumers must obtain these credentials through a registered client application. Here’s how it works:

Anypoint Exchange and Client Applications:

To access secured APIs, API consumers need to create or register a client application in Anypoint Exchange. This process involves requesting access to the specific API, and once approved, the consumer can retrieve the client ID and client secret associated with the application.

Why Option D is Correct:

Option D accurately describes the process, as the client ID and client secret are generated and managed within Anypoint Exchange. API consumers can use these credentials to authenticate with the TemperatureSensors API.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (secrets manager) is incorrect because client credentials for API access are not managed via secrets manager.

Option B (API Manager) is incorrect as API Manager manages policies but does not provide client-specific credentials.

Option C (Access Management) does not apply, as Access Management is primarily used for user roles and permissions, not API client credentials.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Create a bounded-context model for the system layer to closely match the backend data model, and add an anti-corruption layer to let the different bounded contexts cooperate across the system and process layers

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

>> Canonical models are not an option here as the organization has already put in efforts and created bounded-context models for Experience and Process APIs.

>> Anti-corruption layers for ALL APIs is unnecessary and invalid because it is mentioned that experience and process APIs share same bounded-context model. It is just the System layer APIs that need to choose their approach now.

>> So, having an anti-corruption layer just between the process and system layers will work well. Also to speed up the approach, system APIs can mimic the backend system data model.

Explanation

Correct Answer: By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications

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

>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.

>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is FALSE.

Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that - Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications.

Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development.

CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.

These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or automation.

Explanation

Correct Answer: A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception.

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

>> An AWS Region itself going down will definitely result in an outage as it does not matter how many workers are assigned to the Mule App as all of those in that region will go down. This is a complete downtime and outage.

>> Extended outage of API manager during initial deployment of API implementation will of course cause issues in proper application startup itself as the API Autodiscovery might fail or API policy templates and polices may not be downloaded to embed at the time of applicaiton startup etc... there are many reasons that could cause issues.

>> A network outage onpremises would of course cause the Order Management System not accessible and it does not matter how many workers are assigned to the app they all will fail and cause outage for sure.

The only option that does NOT result in a service outage is if a cloudhub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception. Even if a worker fails and goes down, there are still other workers to handle the requests and keep the API UP and Running. So, this is the right answer.
