MCPA-Level-1 Dumps Questions With Valid Answers

API Consumer

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: API Consumer
*****************************************
>> API clients are piece of code or programs that use the client credentials of API
consumer but does not directly interact with Anypoint Exchange to get the access
>> API consumer is the one who should get registered and request access to API and then
API client needs to use those client credentials to hit the APIs
So, API consumer is the one who needs to request access on the API from Anypoint
Exchange

The visibility level of the API instances of that API that need to be publicly accessible should be set to public visibility

4.0.0

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: 4.0.0
*****************************************
As per semver.org semantic versioning specification:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner.
- PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
As per the scenario given in the question, the API implementation is completely changing
its behavior. Although the format of the time is still being maintained as hh:mm:ss and there
is no change in schema w.r.t format, the API will start functioning different after this change
as the times are going to come completely different.
Example: Before the change, say, time is going as 09:00:00 representing the PST. Now on,
after the change, the same time will go as 18:00:00 as Central European Summer Time is
9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
>> This may lead to some uncertain behavior on API clients depending on how they are
handling the times in the API response. All the API clients need to be informed that the API
functionality is going to change and will return in CEST format. So, this considered as a
MAJOR change and the version of API for this new change would be 4.0.0

Spike control

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Spike control
*****************************************
>> First things first, HTTP Caching policy is for purposes different than avoiding the
backend system from overloading. So this is OUT.
>> Rate Limiting and Throttling/ Spike Control policies are designed to limit API access, but
have different intentions.
>> Rate limiting protects an API by applying a hard limit on its access.
>> Throttling/ Spike Control shapes API access by smoothing spikes in traffic.
That is why, Spike Control is the right option

The FQDNs are determined by the application name chosen, IRRESPECTIVE of the region

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: The FQDNs are determined by the application name chosen,
IRRESPECTIVE of the region
*****************************************
>> When deploying applications to Shared Worker Cloud, the FQDN are always
determined by application name chosen.
>> It does NOT matter what region the app is being deployed to.
>> Although it is fact and true that the generated FQDN will have the region included in it
(Ex: exp-salesorder-api.au-s1.cloudhub.io), it does NOT mean that the same name can be
used when deploying to another CloudHub region.
>> Application name should be universally unique irrespective of Region and Organization
and solely determines the FQDN for Shared Load Balancers
