Explanation

* Clustering is a group of servers or mule runtime which acts as a single unit.

* Mulesoft Enterprise Edition supports scalable clustering to provide high availability for the Mulesoft application.

* In simple terms, virtual servers composed of multiple nodes and they communicate and share information through a distributed shared memory grid.

* By default, Mulesoft ensures the High availability of applications if clustering implemented.

* Let's consider the scenario one of the nodes in cluster crashed or goes down and under maintenance. In such cases, Mulesoft will ensure that requests are processed by other nodes in the cluster. Mulesoft clustering also ensures that the request is load balanced between all the nodes in a cluster.

* Clustering is only supported by on-premise Mule runtime and it is not supported in Cloudhub.

Correct answer is External monitoring tools or log aggregators must be configured to recognize the new nodes

* Rest of the options are automatically taken care of when a new node is added in cluster.

To meet the reliability requirements for Mule applications deployed to a Runtime Fabric (RTF) cluster, where data needs to be shared across application replicas and persist through restarts, the best approach is to use Anypoint Object Store v2. This service is designed to provide persistent storage that can be shared among different application instances and across restarts. Steps include:

• Configure Object Store v2: Set up Anypoint Object Store v2 in the Mule application to handle data storage needs.
• Persistent Data Handling: Ensure that the configuration allows data to be shared and persist, meeting the requirements for reliability and consistency.

This solution leverages MuleSoft's cloud-based storage service optimized for these use cases, ensuring data integrity and availability.

To close the IT delivery gap, MuleSoft recommends that IT organizations make their technology assets easily discoverable via a central repository. This approach ensures that existing assets, such as APIs, connectors, templates, and other reusable components, are accessible to all teams within the organization. By having a central repository, teams can quickly find and leverage these assets, reducing duplication of effort, speeding up project delivery, and fostering a culture of reuse and collaboration. This strategy aligns with the principles of an API-led connectivity approach, where reusable assets and APIs form the foundation for scalable and efficient IT delivery.
