Question 73

An organization is evaluating using the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) vs. creating a CloudHub dedicated load balancer (DLB). They are evaluating how this choice affects the various types of certificates used by CloudHub-deployed Mule applications, including MuleSoft-provided, customer-provided, or Mule application-provided certificates.

What type of restrictions exist on the types of certificates that can be exposed by the CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) to external web clients over the public Internet?

    Correct Answer: C

    The CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) primarily handles SSL termination for incoming HTTPS requests from external web clients, using only MuleSoft-provided certificates. This setup does not allow for the use of customer-provided self-signed certificates, wildcard certificates, or underlying Mule application certificates. Therefore, external clients will see the MuleSoft-provided certificate for HTTPS connections.

CloudHub Shared Load Balancer (SLB) primarily handles SSL termination for incoming HTTPS requests from external web clients. MuleSoft provides a default SSL certificate for the CloudHub SLB, which is used when clients connect to CloudHub over HTTPS. Therefore, when using the CloudHub SLB, external clients will see the MuleSoft-provided certificate for HTTPS connections. It's not possible to expose customer-provided or Mule application-specific certificates directly through the CloudHub SLB to external clients over the public Internet.
