Which of the following methods can be used to deploy a Mule application?

The correct method for deploying a Mule application involves using Anypoint Runtime Manager or implementing a CI/CD pipeline. Anypoint Runtime Manager is a web-based interface that allows for the deployment, management, and monitoring of Mule applications. It enables developers and operations teams to deploy applications to various environments, such as CloudHub or on-premises servers with ease.

Additionally, utilizing a CI/CD pipeline facilitates automated deployments, ensuring that changes in the application code are tested and deployed consistently across environments. This approach enhances collaboration between development and operations teams, allowing for more efficient application delivery and reducing the chances of human error.

In contrast, other methods, such as deploying exclusively through Anypoint Studio, the command line, or manual uploads, are limited in functionality and flexibility. They do not provide the comprehensive management capabilities and automation features that come with using Runtime Manager or a CI/CD pipeline.
