Question 31

What is the MuleSoft-hosted runtime called?

Answer 31

CloudHub worker.

Question 32

What is a CloudHub worker?

Answer 32

A dedicated instance of Mule that runs an app.

Question 33

Each individual worker…

Answer 33

Runs in a seperate container from every other application, is deployed and monitored independently and runs in a specific worker cloud in a region of the world.

Question 34

Answer 34

Yes - apps can be scaled vertically by changin the worker size (0.1 vCore, 0.2 vCore,…) and apps can be scaled horizontally by adding multiple workers.

Question 35

Are there workers in different environments?

Answer 35

Yes - Design (Flow Designer apps, Sandbox, Production). Apps can be promoted from one environment to another.
