Connector updates
New
● Amazon Lambda Connector: Anypoint users can use this
new connector to execute AWS Lambda functions along
with their Mule flows. Users can then use the response of
the Lambda function to process another Mule flow as
needed.
● Amazon Redshift Connector: The Anypoint connector to
Redshift enables users to add data into, and query data
from their Redshift instance, and subsequently use the
information to compile custom reports in BI tools such as
Microsoft Power BI and Tableau.
● Microsoft Excel Online Connector: This Anypoint connector
enables users to sync all their data from Excel with other
business apps, and to connect deeply into collaboration
apps to automate key business processes like order-to-
cash, procure-to-pay, and so on.
● Snowflake Connector: The Anypoint connector for
Snowflake enables users to load bulk data into Snowflake,
as well as execute queries to insert, to update, to delete,
and to merge data in Snowflake tables.
Updated
● Amazon SNS Connector: Added support for SNS push
notifications to mobile numbers without using SNS topics
● Netsuite Connector: Added metadata resolution for several
operations including Search, Get List, Delete List, and so on
● All Salesforce Connectors: Upgraded to support
Salesforce's Summer 21 release
● LDAP Connector: Added support for LDAPS

Anypoint Runtime Fabric - Versioning Update Greater transparency
● See date-patch versions of
Mule runtime to better
understand changes
Consistent with
CloudHub
● Same schedule and grace
period as CloudHub -
simplifies management
across environments
Always secure
● New applications deployed
to RTF will always default
to use the latest date-patch
Available June 30th, 2021
Consistent versioning of Mule across CloudHub and RTF

18. Runtime Fabric Overview

19. 20
Benefits
○ Deploy Mule runtimes across any cloud, including
Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and
data centers
○ Run multiple run time versions in the same Runtime
Fabric
○ Scale Horizontally and redeploy with zero downtime
○ Control plane management via Anypoint platform
Runtime Fabric Overview
Runtime Fabric orchestrates and automates the deployment of
mule runtimes and applications in to containers in any cloud or on-
premised environment

20. 21
Runtime Fabric is delivered to customers as a
package of components that run on top of an
existing EKS/AKS/GKE cluster
Kubernetes control plane is not from Mulesoft but
handled by customer through AWS/Azure/Google.
Setup and provision your own ingress controller
and log forwarded solution.
Customers maintain the health of Kubernetes , and
Mulesoft maintains the RTF services and Mule
application deployments
Runtime Fabric on Self Managed Kubernetes
Runtime Fabric(Self-managed)
or GKE

21. 22
Flexibility of deployment since you can chose from a number of
Kubernetes providers and deployment targets can be changed easily
because of containerised applications. Also memory allocation is flexible
during deployment. Applications can also be deployed with as low as 0.02
vCore (Cloudhub is 0.1 minimum).
Less overhead as EKS/AKS/GKE are highly available and managed by
respective cloud providers. Autoscaling and Node groups feature helps to
maintain the minimum number of computing nodes required and scaling
up when absolutely required
RTF on Self Managed Kubernetes beneftis

22. Object Store Persistence in RTF

23. 24
● Introduced in Anypoint Runtime Fabric(version 1.9)
● Facilitates storage and sharing of data across application replicas and restarts,
backed up by PostgresSQL(9+) database.
● Uses Object Store v2 REST API via the Object Store Connector to connect to
Persistence Gateway
● Enables deployment to both Anypoint Runtime Fabric and CloudHub without having
to modify your Mule application.
● When configured, users can select Use Persistent Object Store when deploying an
application using Runtime Manager.
Object Store Persistence Gateway

24. 25
Object Store Migration – Typical Solution
● os-migration app is an object store
v2 REST API implementation using
mule
● Migration app can be deployed to
either cloudhub or RTF cluster.
● More details to cover in the demo

25. Log Externalisation for RTF

1. Logging from the application – log4j solution not supported by SMK
2. Sidecar container with a logging agent: Not recommended due to significant resource
consumption
3. Node level logging agent – Daemon set deployment for every single node created
