What is true about automating interactions with Anypoint Platform using tools such as Anypoint Platform REST APIs, Anypoint CU, or the Mule Maven plugin?
A . Access to Anypoint Platform APIs and Anypoint CU can be controlled separately through the roles and permissions in Anypoint Platform, so that specific users can get access to Anypoint CLI white others get access to the platform APIs
B . Anypoint Platform APIs can ONLY automate interactions with CloudHub, while the Mule Maven plugin is required for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes
C . By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications
D . API policies can be applied to the Anypoint Platform APIs so that ONLY certain LOBs have access to specific functions

Answer: C

Explanation:

Correct Answer. By default, the Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications *****************************************

>> We CANNOT apply API policies to the Anypoint Platform APIs like we can do on our custom written API instances. So, option suggesting this is FALSE.

>> Anypoint Platform APIs can be used for automating interactions with both CloudHub and customer-hosted Mule runtimes. Not JUST the CloudHub. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> Mule Maven plugin is NOT mandatory for deployment to customer-hosted Mule runtimes. It just helps your CI/CD to have smoother automation. But not a compulsory requirement to deploy. So, option opposing this is FALSE.

>> We DO NOT have any such special roles and permissions on the platform to separately control access for some users to have Anypoint CLI and others to have Anypoint Platform APIs. With proper general roles/permissions (API Owner, Cloudhub Admin etc..), one can use any of the options (Anypoint CLI or Platform APIs). So, option suggesting this is

FALSE.

Only TRUE statement given in the choices is that – Anypoint CLI and Mule Maven plugin are NOT included in the Mule runtime, so are NOT available to be used by deployed Mule applications.

Maven is part of Studio or you can use other Maven installation for development. CLI is convenience only. It is one of many ways how to install app to the runtime.

These are definitely NOT part of anything except your process of deployment or automation.
