MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 5

What is required before an API implemented using the components of Anypoint Platform can be managed and governed (by applying API policies) on Anypoint
Platform?

Answer options

• A. A RAML definition of the API must be created in API designer so it can then be published to Anypoint Exchange
• B. The API must be published to Anypoint Exchange and a corresponding API instance ID must be obtained from API Manager to be used in the API implementation
• C. The API must be shared with the potential developers through an API portal so API consumers can interact with the API
• D. The API implementation source code must be committed to a source control management system (such as GitHub)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because publishing the API to Anypoint Exchange and obtaining an API instance ID from API Manager is essential for management and governance. Options A and C are incorrect as they relate to API design and developer sharing rather than governance. Option D is also incorrect since committing source code does not directly facilitate API management on Anypoint Platform.
