Question Image

A customer runs Mule applications on Runtime Fabric for Self-Managed Kubernetes (RTF-BYOK8) in a multi-cloud environment. Based on this configuration, how do Agents and Runtime Manager communicate, and what do they exchange?

  • A Runtime Manager communicates with Agents to provide updates on cluster status, download images, and update Mule applications (when available and chosen to do so by customer) from the container registry
  • B Runtime Manager initiates traffic to Agents to check the status of cluster and auto-deploys new images when updates to Mule applications are available
  • C Agents communicate with Runtime Manager to provide updates on cluster status, download images, and update Mule applications (automatically when available) from the container registry
  • D Agents communicate with Runtime Manger to provide updates on cluster status, download images, and update Mule applications (when available and chosen to do so by customer) from the container registry
Explanation

Runtime Fabric agents in the Kubernetes cluster communicate outward to the Anypoint control plane, reporting Kubernetes deployment and cluster status. Application deployments are initiated through Runtime Manager by the customer; the Runtime Fabric environment then obtains the required runtime and application images rather than automatically deploying every available update. MuleSoft documentation states that the Runtime Fabric agent sends Kubernetes deployment-state updates to the control plane and documents deployment through Runtime Manager.
