Question 2 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

When must an API implementation be deployed to an Anypoint VPC?

  • A.

    When the API Implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer- managed AWS instance

  • B.

    When the API implementation must be accessible within a subnet of a restricted customer-hosted network that does not allow public access

  • C.

    When the API implementation must be deployed to a production AWS VPC using the Mule Maven plugin

  • D.

    When the API Implementation must write to a persistent Object Store

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Question 3 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

What is the main change to the IT operating model that MuleSoft recommends to organizations to improve innovation and clock speed?

  • A.

    Drive consumption as much as production of assets; this enables developers to discover and reuse assets from other projects and encourages standardization

  • B.

    Expose assets using a Master Data Management (MDM) system; this standardizes projects and enables developers to quickly discover and reuse assets from other projects

  • C.

    Implement SOA for reusable APIs to focus on production over consumption; this standardizes on XML and WSDL formats to speed up decision making

  • D.

    Create a lean and agile organization that makes many small decisions everyday; this speeds up decision making and enables each line of business to take ownership of its projects

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer: Drive consumption as much as production of assets; this enables developers to discover and reuse assets from other projects and encourages standardization

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

> > The main motto of the new IT Operating Model that MuleSoft recommends and made popular is to change the way that they are delivered from a production model to a production + consumption model, which is done through an API strategy called API-led connectivity.

> > The assets built should also be discoverable and self-serveable for reusablity across LOBs and organization.

> > MuleSoft ' s IT operating model does not talk about SDLC model (Agile/ Lean etc) or MDM at all. So, options suggesting these are not valid.

Question 4 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

An Anypoint Platform organization has been configured with an external identity provider (IdP) for identity management and client management. What credentials or token must be provided to Anypoint CLI to execute commands against the Anypoint Platform APIs?

  • A.

    The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management

  • B.

    The credentials provided by the IdP for client management

  • C.

    An OAuth 2.0 token generated using the credentials provided by the IdP for client management

  • D.

    An OAuth 2.0 token generated using the credentials provided by the IdP for identity management

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer: The credentials provided by the IdP for identity management

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

[Reference: https://docs.mulesoft.com/runtime-manager/anypoint-platform-cli#authentication, >> There is no support for OAuth 2.0 tokens from client/identity providers to authenticate via Anypoint CLI. Only possible tokens are "bearer tokens" that too only generated using Anypoint Organization/Environment Client Id and Secret from https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/accounts/login. Not the client credentials of client provider. So, OAuth 2.0 is not possible. More over, the token is mainly for API Manager purposes and not associated with a user. You can NOT use it to call most APIs (for example Cloudhub and etc) as per this Mulesoft Knowledge article., >> The other option allowed by Anypoint CLI is to use client credentials. It is possible to use client credentials of a client provider but requires setting up Connected Apps in client management but such details are not given in the scenario explained in the question., >> So only option left is to use user credentials from identify provider, ]

Question 5 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

How are an API implementation, API client, and API consumer combined to invoke and process an API?

  • A.

    The API consumer creates an API implementation, which receives API invocations from an API such that they are processed for an API client

  • B.

    The API client creates an API consumer, which receives API invocations from an API such that they are processed for an API implementation

  • C.

    The ApI consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation

  • D.

    The ApI client creates an API consumer, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer: The API consumer creates an API client, which sends API invocations to an API such that they are processed by an API implementation

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

Terminology:

> > API Client - It is a piece of code or program the is written to invoke an API

> > API Consumer - An owner/entity who owns the API Client. API Consumers write API clients.

> > API - The provider of the API functionality. Typically an API Instance on API Manager where they are managed and operated.

> > API Implementation - The actual piece of code written by API provider where the functionality of the API is implemented. Typically, these are Mule Applications running on Runtime Manager.

Question 6 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

A company wants to move its Mule API implementations into production as quickly as possible. To protect access to all Mule application data and metadata, the company requires that all Mule applications be deployed to the company ' s customer-hosted infrastructure within the corporate firewall. What combination of runtime plane and control plane options meets these project lifecycle goals?

  • A.

    Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane

  • B.

    MuleSoft-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane

  • C.

    Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane

  • D.

    iPaaS provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and MuleSoft-hosted control plane

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer: Manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane

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

There are two key factors that are to be taken into consideration from the scenario given in the question.

> > Company requires both data and metadata to be resided within the corporate firewall

> > Company would like to go with customer-hosted infrastructure.

Any deployment model that is to deal with the cloud directly or indirectly (Mulesoft-hosted or Customer ' s own cloud like Azure, AWS) will have to share atleast the metadata.

Application data can be controlled inside firewall by having Mule Runtimes on customer hosted runtime plane. But if we go with Mulsoft-hosted/ Cloud-based control plane, the control plane required atleast some minimum level of metadata to be sent outside the corporate firewall.

As the customer requirement is pretty clear about the data and metadata both to be within the corporate firewall, even though customer wants to move to production as quickly as possible, unfortunately due to the nature of their security requirements, they have no other option but to go with manually provisioned customer-hosted runtime plane and customer-hosted control plane.

Question 7 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

Refer to the exhibit.

MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance Q7

An organization uses one specific CloudHub (AWS) region for all CloudHub deployments.

How are CloudHub workers assigned to availability zones (AZs) when the organization ' s Mule applications are deployed to CloudHub in that region?

  • A.

    Workers belonging to a given environment are assigned to the same AZ within that region

  • B.

    AZs are selected as part of the Mule application ' s deployment configuration

  • C.

    Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region

  • D.

    An AZ is randomly selected for a Mule application, and all the Mule application ' s CloudHub workers are assigned to that one AZ

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer :  Workers are randomly distributed across available AZs within that region.

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

> >  Currently, we only have control to choose which AWS Region to choose but there is no control at all using any configurations or deployment options to decide what Availability Zone (AZ) to assign to what worker.

> >  There are  NO  fixed or implicit rules on platform too w.r.t assignment of AZ to workers based on environment or application.

> >  They are completely assigned in  random . However, cloudhub definitely ensures that HA is achieved by assigning the workers to more than on AZ so that all workers are not assigned to same AZ for same application.

Question 8 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

A company has started to create an application network and is now planning to implement a Center for Enablement (C4E) organizational model. What key factor would lead the company to decide upon a federated rather than a centralized C4E?

  • A.

    When there are a large number of existing common assets shared by development teams

  • B.

    When various teams responsible for creating APIs are new to integration and hence need extensive training

  • C.

    When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups

  • D.

    When the majority of the applications in the application network are cloud based

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation

Correct Answer: When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups

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

> > It would require lot of process effort in an organization to have a single C4E team coordinating with multiple already organized development teams which are into several independent initiatives. A single C4E works well with different teams having at least a common initiative. So, in this scenario, federated C4E works well instead of centralized C4E.

Question 9 MuleSoft MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

The application network is recomposable: it is built for change because it " bends but does not break "

  • A.

    TRUE

  • B.

    FALSE

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: A

Explanation:

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

> > Application Network is a disposable architecture.

> > Which means, it can be altered without disturbing entire architecture and its components.

> > It bends as per requirements or design changes but does not break
