MuleSoft Certified Developer – Level 1 — Question 110

An API implementation has been deployed to CloudHub and now needs to be governed. IT will not allocate additional vCores for a new Mule application to act as an API proxy.
What is the next step to preserve the current vCore usage, but still allow the Mule application to be managed by API Manager?

Answer options

• A. Modify the API implementation to use auto-discovery to register with API Manager
• B. Deploy the same API implementation behind a VPC and configure the VPC to connect to API Manager
• C. Upload the Mule application's JAR file to the API instance in API Manager
• D. Register the same API implementation in Runtime Manager to connect to API Manager

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using auto-discovery allows the existing API implementation to register with API Manager without requiring additional vCores. Options B and D involve deploying or registering a new instance, which contradicts the requirement to keep vCore usage the same. Option C is incorrect because uploading a JAR file does not provide the necessary management capabilities through API Manager.
