Topic #: 8
[All MuleSoft Platform Architect I Questions]

A company requires Mule applications deployed to CloudHub to be isolated between non-production and production environments. This is so Mule applications deployed to non-production environments can only access backend systems running in their customer-hosted non-production environment, and so Mule applications deployed to production environments can only access backend systems running in their customer-hosted production environment. How does MuleSoft recommend modifying Mule applications, configuring environments, or changing infrastructure to support this type of per-environment isolation between Mule applications and backend systems?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Correct Answer :Create separate Anypoint VPCs for non-production and production environments, then configure connections to the backend systems in the corresponding customer-hosted environments.

*****************************************

>>Creating different Business Groups does NOT make any difference w.r.t accessing the non-prod and prod customer-hosted environments. Still they will be accessing from both Business Groups unless process network restrictions are put in place.

>>We need to modify or couple the Mule Application Implementations with the environment. In fact, we should never implements application coupled with environments by binding them in the properties. Only basic things like endpoint URL etc should be bundled in properties but not environment level access restrictions.

>>IP addresses on CloudHub are dynamic until unless a special static addresses are assigned. So it is not possible to setup firewall rules in customer-hosted infrastrcture. More over, even if static IP addresses are assigned, there could be 100s of applications running on cloudhub and setting up rules for all of them would be a hectic task, non-maintainable and definitely got a good practice.

>>Thebest practice recommendedby Mulesoft (In fact any cloud provider), is to have your Anypoint VPCs seperated for Prod and Non-Prod and perform the VPC peering or VPN tunneling for these Anypoint VPCs to respective Prod and Non-Prod customer-hosted environment networks.

Haha, option A is like trying to put a band-aid on a gunshot wound. Definitely not the way to go here.

Option B seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure if it's the most scalable or maintainable solution in the long run. The Anypoint VPC approach in option D might be more robust.

I think option D is the best solution. Isolating the environments with separate Anypoint VPCs seems like the most secure and flexible approach.
