QUESTION: 46

An Order microservice and a Fulfillment microservice are being designed to communicate with their dients through message-based integration (and NOT through API invocations).
The Order microservice publishes an Order message (a kind of command message) containing the details of an order to be fulfilled. The intention is that Order messages are only consumed by one Mute application, the Fulfillment microservice.
The Fulfilment microservice consumes Order messages, fulfills the order described therein, and then publishes an OrderFulfilted message (a kind of event message). Each OrderFulfilted message can be consumed by any interested Mule application, and the Order microservice is one such Mute application.
What is the most appropriate choice of message broker(s) and message destination(s) in this scenario?

Order messages are sent to an Anypoint MQ exchange OrderFulfilled messages are sent to an Anypoint MQ queue Both microservices interact with Anypoint MQ as the message broker, which must therefore scale to support the load of both microservices
Order messages are sent to a JMS queue. OrderFulfilled messages are sent to a JMS topic Both microservices interact with the same JMS provider (message broker) instance, which must therefore scale to support the load of both microservices
Order messages are sent directly to the Fulfillment microservices. OrderFulfilled messages are sent directly to the Order microservice The Order microservice interacts with one AMQP-compatible message broker and the Fulfillment microservice interacts with a different AMQP-compatible message broker, so that both message brokers can be chosen and scaled to best support the load of each microservice
Order messages are sent to a JMS queue. OrderFulfilled messages are sent to a JMS topic The Order microservice interacts with one JMS provider (message broker) and the Fulfillment microservice interacts with a different JMS provider, so that both message brokers can be chosen and scaled to best support the load of each microservice

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

* If you need to scale a JMS provider/ message broker, - add nodes to scale it horizontally or
- add memory to scale it vertically * Cons of adding another JMS provider/ message broker: - adds cost. - adds complexity to use two JMS brokers - adds Operational overhead if we use two brokers, say, ActiveMQ and IBM MQ * So Two options that mention to use two brokers are not best choice. * It's mentioned that "The Fulfillment microservice consumes Order messages, fulfills the order described therein, and then publishes an OrderFulfilled message. Each OrderFulfilled message can be consumed by any interested Mule application." - When you publish a message on a topic, it goes to all the subscribers who are interested - so zero to many subscribers will receive a copy of the message. - When you send a message on a queue, it will be received by exactly one consumer. * As we need multiple consumers to consume the message below option is not valid choice: "Order messages are sent to an Anypoint MQ exchange. OrderFulfilled messages are sent to an Anypoint MQ queue. Both microservices interact with Anypoint MQ as the message broker, which must therefore scale to support the load of both microservices" * Order messages are only consumed by one Mule application, the Fulfillment microservice, so we will publish it on queue and OrderFulfilled message can be consumed by any interested Mule application so it need to be published on Topic using same broker. * Correct Answer(s):
Best choice in this scenario is: "Order messages are sent to a JMS queue. OrderFulfilled messages are sent to a JMS topic. Both microservices interact with the same JMS provider (message broker) instance, which must therefore scale to support the load of both microservices" Tried to depict scenario in diagram:

QUESTION: 47

An organization is designing an integration solution to replicate financial transaction data from a legacy system into a data warehouse (DWH).
The DWH must contain a daily snapshot of financial transactions, to be delivered as a CSV file. Daily transaction volume exceeds tens of millions of records, with significant spikes in volume during popular shopping periods.
What is the most appropriate integration style for an integration solution that meets the organization's current requirements?

Event-driven architecture
Microservice architecture
API-led connectivity
Batch-triggered ETL

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Correct answer is Batch-triggered ETL Within a Mule application, batch processing provides a construct for asynchronously processing larger-than-memory data sets that are split into individual records. Batch jobs allow for the description of a reliable process that automatically splits up source data and stores it into persistent queues, which makes it possible to process large data sets while providing reliability. In the event that the application is redeployed or Mule crashes, the job execution is able to resume at the point it stopped.

QUESTION: 48

An organization uses a set of customer-hosted Mule runtimes that are managed using the Mulesoft- hosted control plane. What is a condition that can be alerted on from Anypoint Runtime Manager without any custom components or custom coding?

When a Mule runtime on a given customer-hosted server is experiencing high memory consumption during certain periods
When an SSL certificate used by one of the deployed Mule applications is about to expire
When the Mute runtime license installed on a Mule runtime is about to expire
When a Mule runtime's customer-hosted server is about to run out of disk space

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Correct answer is When a Mule runtime on a given customer-hosted server is experiencing high memory consumption during certain periods Using Anypoint Monitoring, you can configure two different types of alerts: Basic alerts for servers and Mule apps Limit per organization: Up to 50 basic alerts for users who do not have a Titanium subscription to Anypoint Platform You can set up basic alerts to trigger email notifications when a metric you are measuring passes a specified threshold. You can create basic alerts for the following metrics for servers or Mule apps: For on-premises servers and CloudHub apps: * CPU utilization * Memory utilization * Thread count Advanced alerts for graphs in custom dashboards in Anypoint Monitoring. You must have a Titanium subscription to use this feature. Limit per organization: Up to 20 advanced alerts

QUESTION: 49

A popular retailer is designing a public API for its numerous business partners. Each business partner will invoke the API at the URL 58. https://api.acme.com/partnefs/vl. The API implementation is estimated to require deployment to 5 CloudHub workers.
The retailer has obtained a public X.509 certificate for the name apl.acme.com, signed by a reputable CA, to be used as the server certificate.
Where and how should the X.509 certificate and Mule applications be used to configure load balancing among the 5 CloudHub workers, and what DNS entries should be configured in order for the retailer to support its numerous business partners?

Add the X.509 certificate to the Mule application's deployable archive, then configure a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB) for each of the Mule application's CloudHub workers
Create a CNAME for api.acme.com pointing to the DLB's A record
Add the X.509 certificate to the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB), not to the Mule application
Create a CNAME for api.acme.com pointing to the SLB's A record
Add the X.509 certificate to a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB), not to the Mule application
Create a CNAME for api.acme.com pointing to the DLB's A record
Add the x.509 certificate to the Mule application's deployable archive, then configure the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) for each of the Mule application's CloudHub workers
Create a CNAME for api.acme.com pointing to the SLB's A record

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

* An X.509 certificate is a vital safeguard against malicious network impersonators. Without x.509 server authentication, man-in-the-middle attacks can be initiated by malicious access points, compromised routers, etc.
* X.509 is most used for SSL/TLS connections to ensure that the client (e.g., a web browser) is not fooled by a malicious impersonator pretending to be a known, trustworthy website.
* Coming to the question , we can not use SLB here as SLB does not allow to define vanity domain names. * Hence we need to use DLB and add certificate in there
Hence correct answer is Add the X 509 certificate to the cloudhub Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB), not the Mule application. Create the CNAME for api.acme.com pointing to the DLB’s record

QUESTION: 50

Refer to the exhibit.

A Mule application has an HTTP Listener that accepts HTTP DELETE requests. This Mule application Is deployed to three CloudHub workers under the control of the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer.
A web client makes a sequence of requests to the Mule application's public URL.
How is this sequence of web client requests distributed among the HTTP Listeners running in the three CloudHub workers?

Each request is routed to the PRIMARY CloudHub worker in the PRIMARY Availability Zone (AZ)
Each request is routed to ONE ARBiTRARY CloudHub worker in the PRIMARY Availability Zone (AZ)
Each request Is routed to ONE ARBiTRARY CloudHub worker out of ALL three CloudHub workers
Each request is routed (scattered) to ALL three CloudHub workers at the same time

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Correct behavior is Each request is routed to ONE ARBITRARY CloudHub worker out of ALL three CloudHub workers
