NEW QUESTION # 16
What correctly characterizes unit tests of Mule applications?

  • A. They are typically written using MUnit to run in an embedded Mule runtime that does not require external connectivity
  • B. They test the validity of input and output of source and target systems
  • C. They must be triggered by an external client tool or event source
  • D. They must be run in a unit testing environment with dedicated Mule runtimes for the environment

Answer: A

Explanation:
Correct Answer : They are typically written using MUnit to run in an embedded Mule runtime that does not require external connectivity.
*****************************************
Below TWO are characteristics of Integration Tests but NOT unit tests:
>> They test the validity of input and output of source and target systems.
>> They must be triggered by an external client tool or event source.
It is NOT TRUE that Unit Tests must be run in a unit testing environment with dedicated Mule runtimes for the environment.
MuleSoft offers MUnit for writing Unit Tests and they run in an embedded Mule Runtime without needing any separate/ dedicated Runtimes to execute them. They also do NOT need any external connectivity as MUnit supports mocking via stubs.

NEW QUESTION # 17
An Order API must be designed that contains significant amounts of integration logic and involves the invocation of the Product API.
The power relationship between Order API and Product API is one of "Customer/Supplier", because the Product API is used heavily throughout the organization and is developed by a dedicated development team located in the office of the CTO.
What strategy should be used to deal with the API data model of the Product API within the Order API?

  • A. Convince the development team of the Product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that the integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model
  • B. Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data model into internal data types of the Order API
  • C. Start an organization-wide data modeling initiative that will result in an Enterprise Data Model that will then be used in both the Product API and the Order API
  • D. Work with the API data types of the Product API directly when implementing the integration logic of the Order API such that the Order API uses the same (unchanged) data types as the Product API

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model
*****************************************
Key details to note from the given scenario:
>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need to accomodate those requests.


NEW QUESTION # 18
An organization uses various cloud-based SaaS systems and multiple on-premises systems. The on-premises systems are an important part of the organization's application network and can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet.
What is the best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support integrations with both the cloud-based SaaS systems and on-premises systems?
A) Use CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in an Anypoint VPC managed by Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane

B) Use CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in the shared worker cloud managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane

C) Use an on-premises installation of Mule runtimes that are completely isolated with NO external network access, managed by the Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane

D) Use a combination of Cloud Hub-deployed and manually provisioned on-premises Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned on-premises Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.
*****************************************
Key details to be taken from the given scenario:
>> Organization uses BOTH cloud-based and on-premises systems
>> On-premises systems can only be accessed from within the organization's intranet Let us evaluate the given choices based on above key details:
>> CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes can ONLY be controlled using MuleSoft-hosted control plane. We CANNOT use Private Cloud Edition's control plane to control CloudHub Mule Runtimes. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using CloudHub-deployed Mule runtimes in the shared worker cloud managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform is completely IRRELEVANT to given scenario and silly choice. So, option suggesting this is INVALID
>> Using an on-premises installation of Mule runtimes that are completely isolated with NO external network access, managed by the Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition control plane would work for On-premises integrations. However, with NO external access, integrations cannot be done to SaaS-based apps. Moreover CloudHub-hosted apps are best-fit for integrating with SaaS-based applications. So, option suggesting this is BEST WAY.
The best way to configure and use Anypoint Platform to support these mixed/hybrid integrations is to use a combination of CloudHub-deployed and manually provisioned on-premises Mule runtimes managed by the MuleSoft-hosted Platform control plane.

NEW QUESTION # 20
Refer to the exhibit. An organization needs to enable access to their customer data from both a mobile app and a web application, which each need access to common fields as well as certain unique fields.
The data is available partially in a database and partially in a 3rd-party CRM system.
What APIs should be created to best fit these design requirements?

A) A Process API that contains the data required by both the web and mobile apps, allowing these applications to invoke it directly and access the data they need thereby providing the flexibility to add more fields in the future without needing API changes

B) One set of APIs (Experience API, Process API, and System API) for the web app, and another set for the mobile app

C) Separate Experience APIs for the mobile and web app, but a common Process API that invokes separate System APIs created for the database and CRM system

D) A common Experience API used by both the web and mobile apps, but separate Process APIs for the web and mobile apps that interact with the database and the CRM System

  • A. Option C
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option A
  • D. Option D

Answer: A

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Separate Experience APIs for the mobile and web app, but a common Process API that invokes separate System APIs created for the database and CRM system
*****************************************
As per MuleSoft's API-led connectivity:
>> Experience APIs should be built as per each consumer needs and their experience.
>> Process APIs should contain all the orchestration logic to achieve the business functionality.
>> System APIs should be built for each backend system to unlock their data.

NEW QUESTION # 21
What is true about where an API policy is defined in Anypoint Platform and how it is then applied to API instances?

  • A. The API policy is defined in API Manager, and then applied to ALL API instances in the specified environment
  • B. The API policy Is defined In Runtime Manager as part of the API deployment to a Mule runtime, and then ONLY applied to the specific API Instance
  • C. The API policy Is defined in API Manager and then automatically applied to ALL API instances
  • D. The API policy Is defined In API Manager for a specific API Instance, and then ONLY applied to the specific API instance

Answer: D

Explanation:
Correct Answer : The API policy is defined in API Manager for a specific API instance, and then ONLY applied to the specific API instance.
*****************************************
>> Once our API specifications are ready and published to Exchange, we need to visit API Manager and register an API instance for each API.
>> API Manager is the place where management of API aspects takes place like addressing NFRs by enforcing policies on them.
>> We can create multiple instances for a same API and manage them differently for different purposes.
>> One instance can have a set of API policies applied and another instance of same API can have different set of policies applied for some other purpose.
>> These APIs and their instances are defined PER environment basis. So, one need to manage them seperately in each environment.
>> We can ensure that same configuration of API instances (SLAs, Policies etc..) gets promoted when promoting to higher environments using platform feature. But this is optional only. Still one can change them per environment basis if they have to.
>> Runtime Manager is the place to manage API Implementations and their Mule Runtimes but NOT APIs itself. Though API policies gets executed in Mule Runtimes, We CANNOT enforce API policies in Runtime Manager. We would need to do that via API Manager only for a cherry picked instance in an environment.
So, based on these facts, right statement in the given choices is - "The API policy is defined in API Manager for a specific API instance, and then ONLY applied to the specific API instance".


NEW QUESTION # 22
Once an API Implementation is ready and the API is registered on API Manager, who should request the access to the API on Anypoint Exchange?

  • A. Both
  • B. None
  • C. API Client
  • D. API Consumer

Answer: D

Explanation:
Correct Answer : API Consumer
*****************************************
>> API clients are piece of code or programs that use the client credentials of API consumer but does not directly interact with Anypoint Exchange to get the access
>> API consumer is the one who should get registered and request access to API and then API client needs to use those client credentials to hit the APIs So, API consumer is the one who needs to request access on the API from Anypoint Exchange


NEW QUESTION # 23
What is the main change to the IT operating model that MuleSoft recommends to organizations to improve innovation and clock speed?

  • A. Expose assets using a Master Data Management (MDM) system; this standardizes projects and enables developers to quickly discover and reuse assets from other projects
  • B. Drive consumption as much as production of assets; this enables developers to discover and reuse assets from other projects and encourages standardization
  • C. 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
  • D. Implement SOA for reusable APIs to focus on production over consumption; this standardizes on XML and WSDL formats to speed up decision making

Answer: B

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.

NEW QUESTION # 24
What is a key performance indicator (KPI) that measures the success of a typical C4E that is immediately apparent in responses from the Anypoint Platform APIs?

  • A. The fraction of API implementations deployed manually relative to those deployed using a CI/CD tool
  • B. The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint Exchange
  • C. The number of production outage incidents reported in the last 24 hours
  • D. The number of API implementations that have a publicly accessible HTTP endpoint and are being managed by Anypoint Platform

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint Exchange
*****************************************
>> The success of C4E always depends on their contribution to the number of reusable assets that they have helped to build and publish to Anypoint Exchange.
>> It is NOT due to any factors w.r.t # of outages, Manual vs CI/CD deployments or Publicly accessible HTTP endpoints
>> Anypoint Platform APIs helps us to quickly run and get the number of published RAML/OAS assets to Anypoint Exchange. This clearly depicts how successful a C4E team is based on number of returned assets in the response.


NEW QUESTION # 25
Refer to the exhibit.

A RAML definition has been proposed for a new Promotions Process API, and has been published to Anypoint Exchange.
The Marketing Department, who will be an important consumer of the Promotions API, has important requirements and expectations that must be met.
What is the most effective way to use Anypoint Platform features to involve the Marketing Department in this early API design phase?
A) Ask the Marketing Department to interact with a mocking implementation of the API using the automatically generated API Console

B) Organize a design workshop with the DBAs of the Marketing Department in which the database schema of the Marketing IT systems is translated into RAML

C) Use Anypoint Studio to Implement the API as a Mule application, then deploy that API implementation to CloudHub and ask the Marketing Department to interact with it

D) Export an integration test suite from API designer and have the Marketing Department execute the tests In that suite to ensure they pass

  • A. Option B
  • B. Option A
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Ask the Marketing Department to interact with a mocking implementation of the API using the automatically generated API Console.
*****************************************
As per MuleSoft's IT Operating Model:
>> API consumers need NOT wait until the full API implementation is ready.
>> NO technical test-suites needs to be shared with end users to interact with APIs.
>> Anypoint Platform offers a mocking capability on all the published API specifications to Anypoint Exchange which also will be rich in documentation covering all details of API functionalities and working nature.
>> No needs of arranging days of workshops with end users for feedback.
API consumers can use Anypoint Exchange features on the platform and interact with the API using its mocking feature. The feedback can be shared quickly on the same to incorporate any changes.


NEW QUESTION # 26
What is typically NOT a function of the APIs created within the framework called API-led connectivity?

  • A. They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
  • B. They reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data from backend systems In a reusable and consumable way.
  • C. They can compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value.
  • D. They allow for innovation at the user Interface level by consuming the underlying assets without being aware of how data Is being extracted from backend systems.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Correct Answer : They provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.
*****************************************
In API-led connectivity,
>> Experience APIs - allow for innovation at the user interface level by consuming the underlying assets without being aware of how data is being extracted from backend systems.
>> Process APIs - compose data from various sources and combine them with orchestration logic to create higher level value
>> System APIs - reduce the dependency on the underlying backend systems by helping unlock data from backend systems in a reusable and consumable way.
However, they NEVER promise that they provide an additional layer of resilience on top of the underlying backend system, thereby insulating clients from extended failure of these systems.

  • A. When ALL backend systems in the application network are deployed in the organization's intranet
  • B. When regulatory requirements mandate on-premises processing of EVERY data item, including meta-data
  • C. When it is required that ALL APIs are private and NOT exposed to the public cloud
  • D. When it Is required to make ALL applications highly available across multiple data centers

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : When regulatory requirements mandate on-premises processing of EVERY data item, including meta-data.
*****************************************
We need NOT require to use Anypoint Platform PCE or PCF for the below. So these options are OUT.
>> We can make ALL applications highly available across multiple data centers using CloudHub too.
>> We can use Anypoint VPN and tunneling from CloudHub to connect to ALL backend systems in the application network that are deployed in the organization's intranet.
>> We can use Anypoint VPC and Firewall Rules to make ALL APIs private and NOT exposed to the public cloud.
Only valid reason in the given options that requires to use Anypoint Platform PCE/ PCF is - When regulatory requirements mandate on-premises processing of EVERY data item, including meta-data.

D) XML over UDP

  • A. Option B
  • B. Option A
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Answer: D

Explanation:
Correct Answer : XML over HTTP
*****************************************
>> API-led connectivity and Application Networks urge to have the APIs on HTTP based protocols for building most effective APIs and networks on top of them.
>> The HTTP based APIs allow the platform to apply various varities of policies to address many NFRs
>> The HTTP based APIs also allow to implement many standard and effective implementation patterns that adhere to HTTP based w3c rules.

NEW QUESTION # 29
Refer to the exhibit.

A developer is building a client application to invoke an API deployed to the STAGING environment that is governed by a client ID enforcement policy.
What is required to successfully invoke the API?

  • A. The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account owning the API in the STAGING environment
  • B. A valid OAuth token obtained from Anypoint Platform and its associated client ID and secret
  • C. The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the STAGING environment
  • D. The client ID and secret for the Anypoint Platform account's STAGING environment

Answer: C

Explanation:
Correct Answer : The client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in the STAGING environment
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT use the client ID and secret of Anypoint Platform account or any individual environments for accessing the APIs
>> As the type of policy that is enforced on the API in question is "Client ID Enforcment Policy", OAuth token based access won't work.
Right way to access the API is to use the client ID and secret obtained from Anypoint Exchange for the API instance in a particular environment we want to work on.

NEW QUESTION # 30
A System API is designed to retrieve data from a backend system that has scalability challenges. What API policy can best safeguard the backend system?

  • A. IPwhitelist
  • B. Client ID enforcement
  • C. Auth 2 token enforcement
  • D. SLA-based rate limiting

Answer: D

Explanation:
Correct Answer : SLA-based rate limiting
*****************************************
>> Client Id enforement policy is a "Compliance" related NFR and does not help in maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". It CANNOT and NOT meant for protecting the backend systems from scalability challenges.
>> IP Whitelisting and OAuth 2.0 token enforcement are "Security" related NFRs and again does not help in maintaining the "Quality of Service (QoS)". They CANNOT and are NOT meant for protecting the backend systems from scalability challenges.
Rate Limiting, Rate Limiting-SLA, Throttling, Spike Control are the policies that are "Quality of Service (QOS)" related NFRs and are meant to help in protecting the backend systems from getting overloaded.

NEW QUESTION # 31
Refer to the exhibit.

what is true when using customer-hosted Mule runtimes with the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane (hybrid deployment)?

  • A. Anypoint Runtime Manager initiates a network connection to a Mule runtime in order to deploy Mule applications
  • B. The MuleSoft-hosted Shared Load Balancer can be used to load balance API invocations to the Mule runtimes
  • C. Anypoint Runtime Manager automatically ensures HA in the control plane by creating a new Mule runtime instance in case of a node failure
  • D. API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane

Answer: D

Explanation:
Correct Answer : API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane.
*****************************************
>> We CANNOT use Shared Load balancer to load balance APIs on customer hosted runtimes

>> For Hybrid deployment models, the on-premises are first connected to Runtime Manager using Runtime Manager agent. So, the connection is initiated first from On-premises to Runtime Manager. Then all control can be done from Runtime Manager.
>> Anypoint Runtime Manager CANNOT ensure automatic HA. Clusters/Server Groups etc should be configured before hand.
Only TRUE statement in the given choices is, API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane. There are several references below to justify this statement.

NEW QUESTION # 32
The implementation of a Process API must change.
What is a valid approach that minimizes the impact of this change on API clients?

  • A. Implement the Process API changes in a new API implementation, and have the old API implementation return an HTTP status code 301 - Moved Permanently to inform API clients they should be calling the new API implementation
  • B. Implement required changes to the Process API implementation so that whenever possible, the Process API's RAML definition remains unchanged
  • C. Update the RAML definition of the current Process API and notify API client developers by sending them links to the updated RAML definition
  • D. Postpone changes until API consumers acknowledge they are ready to migrate to a new Process API or API version

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Implement required changes to the Process API implementation so that, whenever possible, the Process API's RAML definition remains unchanged.
*****************************************
Key requirement in the question is:
>> Approach that minimizes the impact of this change on API clients
Based on above:
>> Updating the RAML definition would possibly impact the API clients if the changes require any thing mandatory from client side. So, one should try to avoid doing that until really necessary.
>> Implementing the changes as a completely different API and then redirectly the clients with 3xx status code is really upsetting design and heavily impacts the API clients.
>> Organisations and IT cannot simply postpone the changes required until all API consumers acknowledge they are ready to migrate to a new Process API or API version. This is unrealistic and not possible.
The best way to handle the changes always is to implement required changes to the API implementations so that, whenever possible, the API's RAML definition remains unchanged.


NEW QUESTION # 33
What best explains the use of auto-discovery in API implementations?

  • A. It enables Anypoint Exchange to discover assets and makes them available for reuse
  • B. It enables Anypoint Studio to discover API definitions configured in Anypoint Platform
  • C. It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies
  • D. It enables Anypoint Analytics to gain insight into the usage of APIs

Answer: C

Explanation:
Correct Answer : It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies.
*****************************************
>> API Autodiscovery is a mechanism that manages an API from API Manager by pairing the deployed application to an API created on the platform.
>> API Management includes tracking, enforcing policies if you apply any, and reporting API analytics.
>> Critical to the Autodiscovery process is identifying the API by providing the API name and version.

NEW QUESTION # 35
Due to a limitation in the backend system, a system API can only handle up to 500 requests per second. What is the best type of API policy to apply to the system API to avoid overloading the backend system?

  • A. Rate limiting
  • B. Spike control
  • C. HTTP caching
  • D. Rate limiting - SLA based

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Spike control
*****************************************
>> First things first, HTTP Caching policy is for purposes different than avoiding the backend system from overloading. So this is OUT.
>> Rate Limiting and Throttling/ Spike Control policies are designed to limit API access, but have different intentions.
>> Rate limiting protects an API by applying a hard limit on its access.
>> Throttling/ Spike Control shapes API access by smoothing spikes in traffic.
That is why, Spike Control is the right option.


NEW QUESTION # 36
Refer to the exhibit.

Three business processes need to be implemented, and the implementations need to communicate with several different SaaS applications.
These processes are owned by separate (siloed) LOBs and are mainly independent of each other, but do share a few business entities. Each LOB has one development team and their own budget In this organizational context, what is the most effective approach to choose the API data models for the APIs that will implement these business processes with minimal redundancy of the data models?
A) Build several Bounded Context Data Models that align with coherent parts of the business processes and the definitions of associated business entities

B) Build distinct data models for each API to follow established micro-services and Agile API-centric practices

C) Build all API data models using XML schema to drive consistency and reuse across the organization

D) Build one centralized Canonical Data Model (Enterprise Data Model) that unifies all the data types from all three business processes, ensuring the data model is consistent and non-redundant

  • A. Option B
  • B. Option A
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Build several Bounded Context Data Models that align with coherent parts of the business processes and the definitions of associated business entities.
*****************************************
>> The options w.r.t building API data models using XML schema/ Agile API-centric practices are irrelevant to the scenario given in the question. So these two are INVALID.
>> Building EDM (Enterprise Data Model) is not feasible or right fit for this scenario as the teams and LOBs work in silo and they all have different initiatives, budget etc.. Building EDM needs intensive coordination among all the team which evidently seems not possible in this scenario.
So, the right fit for this scenario is to build several Bounded Context Data Models that align with coherent parts of the business processes and the definitions of associated business entities.


NEW QUESTION # 37
Version 3.0.1 of a REST API implementation represents time values in PST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. The API implementation needs to be changed to instead represent time values in CEST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. When following the semver.org semantic versioning specification, what version should be assigned to the updated API implementation?

  • A. 3.0.1
  • B. 3.1.0
  • C. 4.0.0
  • D. 3.0.2

Answer: C

Explanation:
Correct Answer : 4.0.0
*****************************************
As per semver.org semantic versioning specification:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner.
- PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
As per the scenario given in the question, the API implementation is completely changing its behavior. Although the format of the time is still being maintained as hh:mm:ss and there is no change in schema w.r.t format, the API will start functioning different after this change as the times are going to come completely different.
Example: Before the change, say, time is going as 09:00:00 representing the PST. Now on, after the change, the same time will go as 18:00:00 as Central European Summer Time is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
>> This may lead to some uncertain behavior on API clients depending on how they are handling the times in the API response. All the API clients need to be informed that the API functionality is going to change and will return in CEST format. So, this considered as a MAJOR change and the version of API for this new change would be 4.0.0


NEW QUESTION # 38
What condition requires using a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer?

  • A. When cross-region load balancing is required between separate deployments of the same Mule application
  • B. When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients
  • C. When API invocations across multiple CloudHub workers must be load balanced
  • D. When custom DNS names are required for API implementations deployed to customer-hosted Mule runtimes

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : When server-side load-balanced TLS mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients
*****************************************
Fact/ Memory Tip: Although there are many benefits of CloudHub Dedicated Load balancer, TWO important things that should come to ones mind for considering it are:
>> Having URL endpoints with Custom DNS names on CloudHub deployed apps
>> Configuring custom certificates for both HTTPS and Two-way (Mutual) authentication.
Coming to the options provided for this question :
>> We
CANNOT use DLB to perform cross-region load balancing between separate deployments of the same Mule application.
>> We can have mapping rules to have more than one DLB URL pointing to same Mule app. But vicevera (More than one Mule app having same DLB URL) is NOT POSSIBLE
>> It is true that DLB helps to setup custom DNS names for Cloudhub deployed Mule apps but NOT true for apps deployed to Customer-hosted Mule Runtimes.
>> It is true to that we can load balance API invocations across multiple CloudHub workers using DLB but it is NOT A MUST. We can achieve the same (load balancing) using SLB (Shared Load Balancer) too. We DO NOT necessarily require DLB for achieve it.
So the only right option that fits the scenario and requires us to use DLB is when TLS mutual authentication is required between API implementations and API clients.


NEW QUESTION # 39
Which of the following best fits the definition of API-led connectivity?

  • A. API-led connectivity is a technology which enabled us to implement Experience, Process and System layer based APIs
  • B. API-led connectivity is not just an architecture or technology but also a way to organize people and processes for efficient IT delivery in the organization
  • C. API-led connectivity is a 3-layered architecture covering Experience, Process and System layers

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : API-led connectivity is not just an architecture or technology but also a way to organize people and processes for efficient IT delivery in the organization.

NEW QUESTION # 40
An organization has created an API-led architecture that uses various API layers to integrate mobile clients with a backend system. The backend system consists of a number of specialized components and can be accessed via a REST API. The process and experience APIs share the same bounded-context model that is different from the backend data model. What additional canonical models, bounded-context models, or anti-corruption layers are best added to this architecture to help process data consumed from the backend system?

  • A. Create a canonical model that combines the backend and API-led models to simplify and unify data models, and minimize data transformations.
  • B. Create a bounded-context model for the system layer to closely match the backend data model, and add an anti-corruption layer to let the different bounded contexts cooperate across the system and process layers
  • C. Create a bounded-context model for every layer and overlap them when the boundary contexts overlap, letting API developers know about the differences between upstream and downstream data models
  • D. Create an anti-corruption layer for every API to perform transformation for every data model to match each other, and let data simply travel between APIs to avoid the complexity and overhead of building canonical models

Answer: B

Explanation:
Correct Answer : Create a bounded-context model for the system layer to closely match the backend data model, and add an anti-corruption layer to let the different bounded contexts cooperate across the system and process layers
*****************************************
>> Canonical models are not an option here as the organization has already put in efforts and created bounded-context models for Experience and Process APIs.
>> Anti-corruption layers for ALL APIs is unnecessary and invalid because it is mentioned that experience and process APIs share same bounded-context model. It is just the System layer APIs that need to choose their approach now.
>> So, having an anti-corruption layer just between the process and system layers will work well. Also to speed up the approach, system APIs can mimic the backend system data model.
