MCIA - Level 1 Exam - Question 39

Question

A popular retailer is designing a public API for its numerous business partners. Each business partner will invoke the API at the URL https://api.acme.com/ partners/v1. The API implementation is estimated to require deployment to 5 CloudHub workers.

The retailer has obtained a public X.509 certificate for the name api.acme.com, signed by a reputable CA, to be used as the server certificate.

Where and how should the X.509 certificate and Mule applications be used to configure load balancing among the 5 CloudHub workers, and what DNS entries should be configured in order for the retailer to support its numerous business partners?

Examice · Accepted Answer

For the given scenario, the best practice is to utilize a CloudHub Dedicated Load Balancer (DLB) for managing the load across multiple CloudHub workers. The X.509 certificate should be added to the DLB and not to the individual Mule applications. This approach leverages the DLB's capability to manage SSL termination and offload that responsibility from individual application workers. A CNAME record should be created for api.acme.com pointing to the DLB's A record, ensuring that all API requests are properly routed through the load balancer.
