Refer to the exhibit.

what is true when using customer-hosted Mule runtimes with the MuleSoft-hosted Anypoint Platform control plane (hybrid deployment)?

A. Anypoint Runtime Manager initiates a network connection to a Mule runtime in order to deploy Mule applications

B. The MuleSoft-hosted Shared Load Balancer can be used to load balance API invocations to the Mule runtimes

C. API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane

D. Anypoint Runtime Manager automatically ensures HA in the control plane by creating a

new Mule runtime instance in case of a node failure

Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer. API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane. *****************************************

>> We CANNOT use Shared Load balancer to load balance APIs on customer hosted runtimes

>> For Hybrid deployment models, the on-premises are first connected to Runtime

Manager using Runtime Manager agent. So, the connection is initiated first from On-premises to Runtime Manager. Then all control can be done from Runtime Manager.

>> Anypoint Runtime Manager CANNOT ensure automatic HA. Clusters/Server Groups etc should be configured before hand.

Only TRUE statement in the given choices is, API implementations can run successfully in customer-hosted Mule runtimes, even when they are unable to communicate with the control plane. There are several references below to justify this statement.
