MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 28

A global organization operates datacenters in many countries. There are private network links between these datacenters because all business data (but NOT metadata) must be exchanged over these private network connections.
The organization does not currently use AWS in any way.
The strategic decision has just been made to rigorously minimize IT operations effort and investment going forward.
What combination of deployment options of the Anypoint Platform control plane and runtime plane(s) best serves this organization at the start of this strategic journey?

Answer options

• A. MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane CloudHub Shared Worker Cloud in multiple AWS regions
• B. MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane Customer-hosted runtime plane in multiple AWS regions
• C. MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane Customer-hosted runtime plane in each datacenter
• D. Anypoint Platform - Private Cloud Edition Customer-hosted runtime plane in each datacenter

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because having a MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane with a customer-hosted runtime plane in each datacenter allows the organization to maintain control over their runtime while also leveraging the hosted control plane for management. Options A and B involve AWS, which the organization does not currently use, while option D, although it allows for customer-hosted runtime in each datacenter, does not take advantage of the hosted control plane which minimizes operational effort.
