MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 101

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 that can be exposed by the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) to external web clients over the public Internet?

Answer options

• A. Only underlying Mule application certificates are exposed (pass-through)
• B. Only customer-provided self-signed certificates are exposed
• C. Only MuleSoft-provided certificates are exposed
• D. Only customer-provided wildcard certificates are exposed

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) can only expose customer-provided self-signed certificates to external clients. The other options are incorrect as the SLB does not expose underlying Mule application certificates, MuleSoft-provided certificates, or customer-provided wildcard certificates to the public Internet.
