MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 72

An automation engineer needs to write scripts to automate the steps of the API lifecycle, including steps to create, publish, deploy, and manage APIs and their implementations in Anypoint Platform.
What Anypoint Platform feature can be used to automate the execution of all these actions in scripts in the easiest way without needing to directly invoke the
Anypoint Platform REST APIs?

Answer options

• A. The Mule Maven Plugin
• B. Anypoint CLI
• C. Runtime Manager agent
• D. Automated Policies in API Manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Anypoint CLI, which provides command-line tools to automate API lifecycle management easily. The Mule Maven Plugin is mainly for building applications, not directly for lifecycle automation, while the Runtime Manager agent is used for application monitoring and management. Automated Policies in API Manager are for policy enforcement, not for automating the API lifecycle steps.
