Mule-Arch-201 Free Sample Questions

A global logistics company is modernizing its legacy infrastructure by adopting an API-led connectivity approach with MuleSoft. The newly formed Center for Enablement (C4E) has defined a set of best practices, including mandatory peer reviews for all new RAML specifications before they are published to Anypoint Exchange. However, development teams are reporting significant delays in their project timelines due to the review process becoming a bottleneck. What is the MOST effective initial action for a Platform Architect to recommend to alleviate the bottleneck while maintaining governance standards?

A healthcare provider is deploying a Mule application to CloudHub that processes sensitive patient data. A requirement is that the payload data must be encrypted while at rest within a CloudHub worker's file system. Which Anypoint Platform feature should be configured to meet this specific requirement?

A financial services company is building an Experience API to serve its mobile banking application. To improve response times for frequently requested, non-volatile data like branch locations and ATM details, the architect decides to implement a caching strategy. The API is deployed to a multi-worker CloudHub environment. Which caching mechanisms are suitable for sharing cache state across all workers for this API? (Select TWO)

A retail company is designing an application network. They need to create an API that retrieves customer order history. This API will require data from three different backend systems: the Salesforce CRM for customer details, an on-premise Oracle database for order headers, and a cloud-based MongoDB for order line items. According to API-led connectivity principles, into which tier should this order history API be categorized?

A manufacturing company has a mix of on-premise legacy systems and modern cloud applications. They are designing a solution where a Mule application deployed on-premise needs to securely and reliably communicate with another Mule application running in a CloudHub VPC. The on-premise data center is already connected to the VPC via a VPN tunnel. Which networking component is required to enable this communication from the on-premise Mule runtime to the CloudHub application's private endpoint? ```mermaid graph TD subgraph On-Premise Data Center OnPremMule[On-Premise Mule Runtime] end subgraph AWS Cloud subgraph VPC CH_VPC[CloudHub VPC] subgraph CH_VPC CH_App[CloudHub App] end end end OnPremMule -->|?| CH_App OnPremMule -- VPN Tunnel --- VPC ```

A project team is developing a critical Process API that orchestrates several downstream System APIs. One of the System APIs has been identified as occasionally unreliable, with intermittent timeouts and 5xx server errors. To ensure the resilience of the Process API, the architect needs to prevent cascading failures. If the unreliable System API fails after three consecutive attempts, the Process API should stop trying to call it for a period of five minutes and immediately return a default error response to the client. Which reliability pattern should be implemented in the Process API to achieve this behavior?

True or False: When configuring Anypoint Platform to use an external Identity Provider (IdP) via SAML 2.0, user profiles and permissions must be managed exclusively within the external IdP.

An organization is using MuleSoft's Runtime Fabric (RTF) on AWS EKS. The platform operations team has noticed that during periods of high load, Mule applications are being evicted and rescheduled frequently, causing temporary service disruptions. A review of the RTF cluster shows that while CPU utilization is moderate, memory utilization is consistently above 95% on all worker nodes. What is the most appropriate architectural recommendation to resolve this issue?

A development team is designing a reusable RAML fragment for handling standardized error responses across multiple APIs. This fragment should define a consistent structure for a 400 Bad Request error, including fields for `errorCode`, `message`, and `details`. Which type of RAML fragment is MOST appropriate for defining this reusable data structure?

A financial institution is implementing a MuleSoft solution and must adhere to strict audit and compliance requirements. A key requirement is to have a complete, immutable audit trail of all administrative actions performed within their Anypoint Platform organization, such as user logins, permission changes, and application deployments. Which Anypoint Platform feature provides this capability out-of-the-box?
