How does RTF (Runtime Fabric) differ from CloudHub?

Runtime Fabric (RTF) offers significant flexibility in deployment options compared to CloudHub. The key differentiator is that RTF supports on-premises and hybrid deployment configurations, allowing organizations to run their applications within their own data centers, in the cloud, or a combination of both. This capability is essential for businesses that require control over their infrastructure or need to integrate with legacy systems that are not cloud-compatible.

In contrast, CloudHub is exclusively a cloud-based integration platform as a service (iPaaS), meaning that all applications deployed there are hosted in the cloud and managed by MuleSoft. This difference in deployment flexibility makes RTF an attractive choice for organizations that operate in regulated industries or have specific compliance requirements that necessitate on-premises solutions.

The other options do not accurately capture the key attributes of RTF and CloudHub. For instance, while pricing may vary based on specific use cases and licensing agreements, it is not a defining feature of what RTF and CloudHub provide in terms of deployment capabilities. Additionally, RTF does support various integration patterns, so the statement regarding its lack of support for integration patterns is incorrect.
