MuleSoft-Platform-Architect-I Exam Dumps : Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect (Mule-Arch-201)

Explanation

Correct Answer: From the Mule runtime irrespective of the deployment model

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

>> Monitoring and Alerting metrics are always originated from Mule Runtimes irrespective of the deployment model.

>> It may seems that some metrics (Runtime Manager) are originated from Mule Runtime and some are (API Invocations/ API Analytics) from API Manager. However, this is realistically NOT TRUE. The reason is, API manager is just a management tool for API instances but all policies upon applying on APIs eventually gets executed on Mule Runtimes only (Either Embedded or API Proxy).

>> Similarly all API Implementations also run on Mule Runtimes.

So, most of the day required for monitoring and alerts are originated fron Mule Runtimes only irrespective of whether the deployment model is MuleSoft-hosted or Customer-hosted or Hybrid.

In MuleSoft CloudHub, autoscaling is essential to managing application load efficiently. CloudHub supports horizontal scaling based on CPU usage, which is well-suited to applications experiencing variable demand and needing responsive resource allocation.

Autoscaling on CloudHub:

Horizontal scaling increases the number of workers in response to CPU usage thresholds, allowing the application to handle higher loads dynamically. This approach improves performance without downtime or manual intervention.

Why Option C is Correct:

Setting up autoscaling based on CPU usage aligns with MuleSoft’s best practices for scalable and responsive applications on CloudHub, particularly in an environment with fluctuating load patterns.

Option C correctly leverages CloudHub’s autoscaling features based on resource metrics, which are part of CloudHub’s managed scaling solutions.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (based on HTTP request thresholds) and Option B (separate policies for CPU and memory) do not represent CloudHub’s recommended scaling practices.

Option D suggests vertical scaling based on response time, which is not how CloudHub handles autoscaling.

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.
