Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect Sample Questions:

1. An API implementation is deployed to CloudHub.
What conditions can be alerted on using the default Anypoint Platform functionality, where the alert conditions depend on the end-to-end request processing of the API implementation?

A) When a particular API client invokes the API too often within a given time period
B) When the API is invoked by an unrecognized API client
C) When the response time of API invocations exceeds a threshold
D) When the API receives a very high number of API invocations

2. A large lending company has developed an API to unlock data from a database server and web server. The API has been deployed to Anypoint Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on CloudHub 1.0.
The database server and web server are in the customer's secure network and are not accessible through the public internet. The database server is in the customer's AWS VPC, whereas the web server is in the customer's on-premises corporate data center.
How can access be enabled for the API to connect with the database server and the web server?

A) Set up VPC peering with the customer's on-premises corporate data center and a VPN tunnel to AWS VPC
B) Set up VPC peering with AWS VPC and the customer's on-premises corporate data center
C) Setup a transit gateway to the customer's on-premises corporate data center through AWS VPC
D) Set up VPC peering with AWS VPC and a VPN tunnel to the customer's on-premises corporate data center

3. An existing Quoting API is defined in RAML and used by REST clients for interacting with the quoting engine. Currently there is a resource defined in the RAML that allows the creation of quotes; however, a new requirement was just received to allow for the updating of existing quotes.
Which two actions need to be taken to facilitate this change so it can be processed?
Choose 2 answers

A) Deprecate existing versions of the API in Exchange
B) Update the RAML with new method details for the update request
C) Remove the old client applications and create new client applications to account for the changes
D) Add a new API policy to API Manager to allow access to the updated endpoint
E) Update the API implementation to accommodate the new update request

4. Several times a week, an API implementation shows several thousand requests per minute in an Anypoint Monitoring dashboard, Between these bursts, the dashboard shows between two and five requests per minute. The API implementation is running on Anypoint Runtime Fabric with two non-clustered replicas, reserved vCPU 1.0 and vCPU Limit 2.0.
An API consumer has complained about slow response time, and the dashboard shows the 99 percentile is greater than 120 seconds at the time of the complaint. It also shows greater than 90% CPU usage during these time periods.
In manual tests in the QA environment, the API consumer has consistently reproduced the slow response time and high CPU usage, and there were no other API requests at this time. In a brainstorming session, the engineering team has created several proposals to reduce the response time for requests.
Which proposal should be pursued first?

A) Increase the number of replicas of the API implementation
B) Modify the API client to split the problematic request into smaller, less-demanding requests
C) Increase the vCPU resources of the API implementation
D) Throttle the APT client to reduce the number of requests per minute

5. A large organization with an experienced central IT department is getting started using MuleSoft. There is a project to connect a siloed back-end system to a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The Center for Enablement is coaching them to use API-led connectivity.
What action would support the creation of an application network using API-led connectivity?

A) Create a System API to unlock the data on the back-end system using a REST API
B) Invite the business analyst to create a business process model to specify the canonical data model between the two systems
C) To expedite this project, central IT should extend the CRM system and back-end systems to connect to one another using built in integration interfaces
D) Determine if the new CRM system supports the creation of custom: REST APIs, establishes 4 private network with CloudHub, and supports GAuth 2.0 authentication
