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

Explanation

Correct Answer: Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns

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

>> It is quite normal to have a single API and different Verb + Resource combinations. However, this fits well for an Experience API or a Process API but not a best architecture style for System APIs. So, option with just one customerManagement API is not the best choice here.

>> The option with APIs in createCustomerInCRMZ format is next close choice w.r.t modularization and less maintenance but the naming of APIs is directly coupled with the legacy system. A better foreseen approach would be to name your APIs by abstracting the backend system names as it allows seamless replacement/migration of any backend system anytime. So, this is not the correct choice too.

>> createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer is the right approach and is the best fit compared to other options as they are both modular and same time got the names decoupled from backend system and it has covered all requirements a System API needs.

In a CloudHub deployment with a single worker/replica located in a specific Availability Zone (AZ), if an AZ experiences an outage, here’s what happens:

Worker Availability: Since the application is deployed in a single AZ, CloudHub does not automatically redeploy the application in a different zone or region during an outage. Thus, if the current AZ is unavailable, the application will be offline.

Auto-Restart upon AZ Recovery: Once the affected AZ is back online, CloudHub will auto-restart the worker in the same AZ without manual intervention. This ensures that as soon as the AZ is functional, the application resumes automatically.

Explanation of Correct Answer (B):

Option B accurately describes the situation, as the API will remain unavailable until the original AZ is restored.

CloudHub does not currently support automatic failover across regions or other availability zones within the same region for single-worker deployments on the shared cloud.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (auto-redeployment in the U.S. East region) is incorrect, as CloudHub does not migrate across regions automatically.

Option C (redeployment in another AZ within the U.S. West) is not a feature for single-worker deployments.

Option D (manual redeployment triggered by an admin) is unnecessary as CloudHub handles restarts automatically when the AZ is back online.

When a Basic Authentication policy is applied to an API on CloudHub but clients can still access the API without authentication, the likely cause is a missing Autodiscovery element. Here’s how this affects API security:

Autodiscovery in MuleSoft:

The Autodiscovery element is essential for linking an API implementation deployed in CloudHub with its API instance defined in API Manager. This connection allows the policies applied in API Manager, such as Basic Authentication, to be enforced on the deployed API.

Why Option B is Correct:

Without Autodiscovery, the deployed application does not "know" about the policies configured in API Manager, resulting in unrestricted access. Adding Autodiscovery enables the API to enforce the policies correctly.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (incorrect Exchange version) would not cause bypassing of security policies.

Option C (missing client applications) does not impact authentication policy enforcement.

Option D (worker restart) is irrelevant to policy enforcement.
