MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect - Level 1 Sample Questions:
An ABC Farms project team is planning to build a new API that is required to work with data from different domains across the organization.
The organization has a policy that all project teams should leverage existing investments by reusing existing APIs and related resources and documentation that other project teams have already developed and deployed.
To support reuse, where on Anypoint Platform should the project team go to discover and read existing APIs, discover related resources and documentation, and interact with mocked versions of those APIs?
- A. Anypoint Exchange
- B. Design Center
- C. API Manager
- D. Runtime Manager

An organization is evaluating using the CloudHub shared Load Balancer (SLB) vs creating a CloudHub dedicated load balancer (DLB). They are evaluating how this choice affects the various types of certificates used by CloudHub deployed Mule applications, including MuleSoft-provided, customer-provided, or Mule application-provided certificates. What type of restrictions exist on the types of certificates for the service that can be exposed by the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) to external web clients over the public internet?
- A. Underlying Mule applications need to implement own certificates
- B. Only MuleSoft provided certificates can be used for server side certificate
- C. Only self signed certificates can be used
- D. All certificates which can be used in shared load balancer need to get approved by raising support ticket
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

What aspect of logging is only possible for Mule applications deployed to customer-hosted Mule runtimes, but NOT for Mule applications deployed to CloudHub?
- A. To directly reference one shared and customized log4j2.xml file from multiple Mule applications
- B. To change tog4j2 tog levels in Anypoint Runtime Manager without having to restart the Mule application
- C. To send Mule application log entries to Splunk
- D. To log certain messages to a custom log category

An organization plans to migrate its deployment environment from an onpremises cluster to a Runtime Fabric (RTF) cluster. The on-premises Mule applications are currently configured with persistent object stores.
There is a requirement to enable Mule applications deployed to the RTF cluster to store and share data across application replicas and through restarts of the entire RTF cluster, How can these reliability requirements be met?
- A. Install the Object Store pod on one of the cluster nodes
- B. Configure the Persistence Gateway in the RTF installation
- C. Configure Anypoint Object Store v2 to share data between replicas in the RTF cluster
- D. Replace persistent object stores with persistent VM queues in each Mule application deployment

A new upstream API Is being designed to offer an SLA of 500 ms median and 800 ms maximum (99th percentile) response time. The corresponding API implementation needs to sequentially invoke 3 downstream APIs of very similar complexity. The first of these downstream APIs offers the following SLA for its response time: median: 100 ms, 80th percentile: 500 ms, 95th percentile: 1000 ms. If possible, how can a timeout be set in the upstream API for the invocation of the first downstream API to meet the new upstream API's desired SLA?
- A. Set a timeout of 50 ms; this times out more invocations of that API but gives additional room for retries
- B. Do not set a timeout; the Invocation of this API Is mandatory and so we must wait until it responds
- C. No timeout is possible to meet the upstream API's desired SLA; a different SLA must be negotiated with the first downstream API or invoke an alternative API
- D. Set a timeout of 100 ms; that leaves 400 ms for the other two downstream APIs to complete
