Anypoint Platform Operations: Customer-Hosted Runtimes (OPS340)

When you complete this course, you will be able to:

• Describe the Mule runtime architecture.
• Install, configure, run, tune, and scale Mule runtimes.
• Deploy Mule applications to Mule runtimes.
• Use Anypoint Runtime Manager to manage, monitor, and analyze Mule runtimes and Mule applications.
• Scale and tune Mule runtimes and Mule applications.
• Automate administration tasks.

This course is for all operations and administration personnel, developers, and architects who want to get hands-on experience managing and monitoring customer-hosted Mule runtimes and applications (on-premises or in a private cloud) with Anypoint Runtime Manager (whether on the cloud or using the Private Cloud Edition).
