Question #13

A system API is deployed to a primary environment as well as to a disaster recovery (DR) environment, with different DNS names in each environment. A process API is a client to the system API and is being rate limited by the system API, with different limits in each of the environments. The system API's DR environment provides only 20% of the rate limiting offered by the primary environment. What is the best API fault-tolerant invocation strategy to reduce overall errors in the process API, given these conditions and constraints?

A. Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; if it still fails, invoke a copy of the process API deployed to the DR environment

B. Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add retry logic to the process API to handle intermittent failures by invoking the system API deployed to the DR environment

C. Invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; if it still fails, invoke the system API deployed to the DR environment

D. In parallel, invoke the system API deployed to the primary environment and the system API deployed to the DR environment; add timeout and retry logic to the process API to avoid intermittent failures; add logic to the process API to combine the results

Question #14

An organization makes a strategic decision to move towards an IT operating model that emphasizes consumption of reusable IT assets using modern APIs (as defined by MuleSoft).
What best describes each modern API in relation to this new IT operating model?

A. Each modern API has its own software development lifecycle, which reduces the need for documentation and automation

B. Each modern API must be REST and HTTP based

C. Each modem API must be treated like a product and designed for a particular target audience (for instance, mobile app developers)

D. Each modern API must be easy to consume, so should avoid complex authentication mechanisms such as SAML or JWT D

Question #15

An API experiences a high rate of client requests (TPS) vwth small message paytoads. How can usage limits be imposed on the API based on the type of client application?

A. Use a spike control policy that limits the number of requests for each client application type

B. Use a rate limiting policy and a client ID enforcement policy, each configured by the client application type

C. Use a cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) policy to limit resource sharing between client applications, configured by the client application type

D. Use an SLA-based rate limiting policy and assign a client application to a matching SLA tier based on its type

Question #16

What is a typical result of using a fine-grained rather than a coarse-grained API deployment model to implement a given business process?

A. A better response time for the end user as a result of the APIs being smaller in scope and complexity

B. An overall tower usage of resources because each fine-grained API consumes less resources

C. A higher number of discoverable API-related assets in the application network

D. A decrease in the number of connections within the application network supporting the business process
