MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect – Level 1 — Question 49

When must an API implementation be deployed to an Anypoint VPC?

Answer options

• A. When the API implementation must invoke publicly exposed services that are deployed outside of CloudHub in a customer-managed AWS instance.
• B. When the API implementation must be accessible within a subnet of a restricted customer-hosted network that does not allow public access.
• C. When the API implementation must be deployed to a production AWS VPC using the Mule Maven plugin
• D. When the API implementation must write to a persistent Object Store

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because deploying an API in an Anypoint VPC is necessary when it needs to interact with publicly accessible services outside of CloudHub on a customer-managed AWS instance. The other options describe scenarios that either do not require VPC deployment (like option B) or are unrelated to the need for VPC, such as options C and D.
