MCPA-Level-1-Maintenance Practice Exam Questions with Answers MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1 MAINTENANCE Certification

Explanation

Correct Answer: Increase the size of the CloudHub worker(s)

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

The key details that we can take out from the given scenario are:

>> API implementation uses a database bulk insert command to submit all the purchase data to a database

>> JDBC driver processes the data into a set of several temporary disk files on the CloudHub worker

>> Sometimes a request fails and the logs show a message indicating an out-of-file-space message

Based on above details:

>> Both auto-scaling options does NOT help because we cannot set auto-scaling rules based on error messages. Auto-scaling rules are kicked-off based on CPU/Memory usages and not due to some given error or disk space issues.

>> Increasing the number of CloudHub workers also does NOT help here because the reason for the failure is not due to performance aspects w.r.t CPU or Memory. It is due to disk-space.

>> Moreover, the API is doing bulk insert to submit the received batch data. Which means, all data is handled by ONE worker only at a time. So, the disk space issue should be tackled on "per worker" basis. Having multiple workers does not help as the batch may still fail on any worker when disk is out of space on that particular worker.

Therefore, the right way to deal this issue and resolve this is to increase the vCore size of the worker so that a new worker with more disk space will be provisioned.

Explanation

Correct Answer: A CloudHub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception.

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

>> An AWS Region itself going down will definitely result in an outage as it does not matter how many workers are assigned to the Mule App as all of those in that region will go down. This is a complete downtime and outage.

>> Extended outage of API manager during initial deployment of API implementation will of course cause issues in proper application startup itself as the API Autodiscovery might fail or API policy templates and polices may not be downloaded to embed at the time of applicaiton startup etc... there are many reasons that could cause issues.

>> A network outage onpremises would of course cause the Order Management System not accessible and it does not matter how many workers are assigned to the app they all will fail and cause outage for sure.

The only option that does NOT result in a service outage is if a cloudhub worker fails with an out-of-memory exception. Even if a worker fails and goes down, there are still other workers to handle the requests and keep the API UP and Running. So, this is the right answer.

Explanation

Correct Answer: The remaining capacity allowed by the API implementation.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Process Layer

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

>> Experience layer is dedicated for enrichment of end user experience. This layer is to meet the needs of different API clients/ consumers.

>> System layer is dedicated to APIs which are modular in nature and implement/ expose various individual functionalities of backend systems

>> Process layer is the place where simple or complex business orchestration logic is written by invoking one or many System layer modular APIs

So, Process Layer is the right answer.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Create reusable assets, Make them discoverable so that LOB teams can self-serve and browse the APIs, Get active feedback and usage metrics.

Explanation

Correct Answer: Apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy; the internal Active Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.

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

>> IP Whitelisting does NOT fit for this purpose. Moreover, the users workstations may not necessarily have static IPs in the network.

>> OAuth 2.0 enforcement requires a client provider which isn't in the organizations system components.

>> It is not an effective approach to let every user create separate client credentials and configure those for their usage.

The effective way it to apply a basic authentication - LDAP policy and the internal Active Directory will be configured as the LDAP source for authenticating users.
