MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 97

A manufacturing company is planning to deploy Mule applications to its own Azure Kubernetes Service infrastructure.

The organization wants to make the Mule applications more available and robust by deploying each Mule application to an isolated Mule runtime in a Docker container while managing all the Mule applications from the MuleSoft-hosted control plane.

What is the most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose) choice of runtime plane to meet these organizational requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Anypoint Runtime Fabric is designed to run Mule applications in containers, making it the ideal choice for deploying isolated Mule runtimes in Docker containers while integrating with the MuleSoft control plane. Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition is for on-premises deployments but doesn’t specifically cater to container orchestration. CloudHub is a fully managed service and not suitable for running on user-managed Kubernetes. Anypoint Service Mesh focuses on microservices and service-to-service communication rather than managing Mule applications in containers.
