9. MuleSoft CloudHub 2.0

10. What is Cloudhub 2.0
CloudHub 2.0 is a fully managed, lightweight and scalable container-based iPaaS
service to deploy, run and manage Mulesoft APIs.
● Available across 12 regions globally.
● Architecture is based on Kubernetes like RTF.
● More granular vCore allocation options.
● Dynamically scalable infrastructure with built-in services to support high
volumes.
● Provides better firewall controls and encrypts passwords, certificates and
other sensitive data in transit within anypoint platform.

13. Terminology Changes
CloudHub 1.0 CloudHub 2.0
VPC: Virtual Private Cloud Private Space: Private Kubernetes Cluster
Worker: AWS EC2 API instance Replica: API container instance
DLB: Dedicated Load balancer Ingress Controller

16. Shared spaces & Private Spaces
Shared Spaces:
● Elastic cloud of resources that have mule instances running in a multi tenant
environment
● One shared space is provided in each region.
Private Spaces:
● Virtual, private and dedicated space in CloudHub 2.0 to manage and run the
Apps.
● Each business Org can create multiple private space in different regions.

17. Shared Space Private Space
Level of isolation
You don’t require isolation from the
public cloud.
Single-tenancy for your apps is
required.
Network Connectivity
Your app don’t need to connect with on-
prem data centre.
VPN, Network connection to a
data centre is needed.
Domain Names Only cloudhub.io is available.
Custom domain names can be
set
Custom Certificates No need to set custom certificate.
Custom Certificates are required
for your apps.
Endpoint Security No need for private endpoints. Private endpoints are needed.
Shared spaces vs Private Spaces

18. Private Space
Following details are provided while creating the private space:
● A dedicated private network, which is a virtual cloud where apps deployed to this
private space run
○ Private Network Region
○ Private Space Name
○ CIDR Block
○ Connection to external network via (VPN, Transit Gateway)
○ Firewall rules for inbound or outbound traffic.
○ Environment and business groups assigned to the private space.

20. Deployment with CloudHub 2.0

Cloudhub 2.0 Features
● Replicas
● Availability and Scalability
● Security

22. Replicas:
Replicas are the dedicated instances of Mule runtime engine that run your integration
applications on CloudHub 2.0. Same as workers in CL 1.0
Capacity:
Number of vCore and memory assigned to run and manage the application.
Isolation:
Each replica runs in a separate container from every other application.
Manageability:
Each replica is deployed and monitored independently.

23. vCore Heap Memory Total Memory Storage
0.1 600 MB 1.2 GB 8 GB
0.2 1 GB 2 GB 8 GB
0.5 1.3 GB 2.6 GB 10 GB
1.0 2 GB 4 GB 12 GB
1.5 3 GB 6 GB 20 GB
2.0 4 GB 8 GB 20 GB
2.5 4.75 GB 9.5 GB 20 GB
3.0 5.5 GB 11 GB 20 GB
3.5 6.5 GB 13 GB 20 GB
4.0 7.5 GB 15 GB 20 GB
Replicas Resource Allocation

24. Availability and Scalability
Redundant Platform:
Cloudhub 2.0 services have a built-in layer of redundancy and available in at least
two data centres all the time. This redundancy ensures that platform services are
available in case of any data data centre outage.
Intelligent Healing:
All applications are monitored in Cloudhub 2.0 and there is a self healing
mechanism is provided to recover.
● If there is hardware failure, application is migrated to new replica automatically.
● If application crashes due to custom code or bug, platform will recognize it and
deploy to new replica.
Zero-Downtime Updates:
CloudHub 2.0 supports updating your applications at runtime so end users of your
HTTP APIs experience zero downtime.

25. Security
● CloudHub 2.0 does not inspect, store, or otherwise interact directly with payload
data, as each replica is running in an isolated container.
● All communication between platform services and CloudHub is secured using
SSL with client certificate authentication.
● CloudHub 2.0 enables you to protect application properties and they are not
visible or retrievable by any user.

26. CH 1.0 vs CH 2.0
● Application is deployed to isolated containers instead of VMs.
● More granular vCore options (0.5, 1.5, 2.5) available with increased memory.
● Outbound firewall rules can be configured private space.
● More than one endpoint (private or public) available for every application.
● Possible to configure more that one TLS Context.
● Specific timezone can be set in schedulers in cron expression instead of always
using UTC.
