Runtime Hosting and Deployment Management
Manage API implementations across CloudHub, hybrid servers and Runtime Fabric, distinguishing deployment ownership, application state and operational tools.
Compare and contrast options for hosting and managing Anypoint Platform runtime planes.
~7 min read · 8 practice questions
What the exam expects
- Compare the operational deployment paths for managed cloud and customer-hosted runtimes.
- Preserve Runtime Manager's ownership of hybrid application deployments.
- Explain application resynchronization, removal and group membership changes.
- Separate flow activation, state enforcement, logs and deployment-state reporting.
A deployment target receives an application; a hybrid deployment runs on customer servers managed through the cloud console; resynchronization reconciles managed applications after runtime restart; Unmanage releases a flow from Runtime Manager's state enforcement (deployment options, hybrid management, flows).
Key facts
Hybrid application ownership
- Detail
- Deploy through Runtime Manager; manual local copies are not discovered.
Local deletion
- Detail
- Runtime restart resynchronizes missing managed applications.
Permanent removal
- Detail
- Use the management UI or REST API.
New member
- Detail
- Receives target applications without requiring an online peer.
Delete availability
- Detail
- A server, or at least one group/cluster member, must run.
Flow Start
- Detail
- Activates; it does not trigger an endpoint.
Flow ownership
- Detail
- Unmanage releases the enforced state.
Hybrid logs
- Detail
- Use an appropriate external logging path.
Fabric reporting
- Detail
- The agent reports labelled Deployment state changes.
- When viewing a hybrid application's panel, how can an operator open the corresponding server information?
- Why can the application panel help date a deployment change?
- When more detailed application settings are needed from the panel, which button opens them?
