A Mule application exposes an HTTPS endpoint and is deployed to three CloudHub workers that do not use static IP addresses. The Mule application expects a high volume of client requests in short time periods. What is the most cost-effective infrastructure component that should be used to serve the high volume of client requests?
Correct Answer: The CloudHub shared load balancer
*****************************************
The scenario in this question can be split as below:
>> There are 3 CloudHub workers (So, there are already good number of workers to handle high volume of requests)
>> The workers are not using static IP addresses (So, one CANNOT use customer load-balancing solutions without static IPs)
>> Looking for most cost-effective component to load balance the client requests among the workers.
Based on the above details given in the scenario:
>> Runtime autoscaling is NOT at all cost-effective as it incurs extra cost. Most over, there are already 3 workers running which is a good number.
>> We cannot go for a customer-hosted load balancer as it is also NOT most cost-effective (needs custom load balancer to maintain and licensing) and same time the Mule App is not having Static IP Addresses which limits from going with custom load balancing.
>> An API Proxy is irrelevant there as it has no role to play w.r.t handling high volumes or load balancing.
So, the only right option to go with and fits the purpose of scenario being most cost-effective is - using a CloudHub Shared Load Balancer.
