MCIA - Level 1 Exam - Question 38


Refer to the exhibit. An organization uses a 2-node Mule runtime cluster to host one stateless API implementation. The API is accessed over HTTPS through a load balancer that uses round-robin for load distribution.

Two additional nodes have been added to the cluster and the load balancer has been configured to recognize the new nodes with no other change to the load balancer.

What average performance change is guaranteed to happen, assuming all cluster nodes are fully operational?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

With the addition of two new nodes to the Mule runtime cluster and using round-robin load distribution, the API requests will be distributed across four nodes instead of two. This means each node will handle fewer requests compared to before. Specifically, there would be a 50% reduction in the number of requests being received by each node, as the total workload is now spread across double the number of nodes. Consequently, each of the original nodes will handle half as many requests as they did before.

configured using multicast, and load bancer will send request to 4 node rather 2 so 50 percent reduction in each node or node can handle more request by 50 percent
