The new CTO of M3 Credit Union (M3 or Credit Union) is going to present the President
and Board of Directors (BOD) an analysis and illustration of gaps in the current
architectures. To clarify the analysis, the CTO will feature diagrams in the presentation.
Diagrams of current infrastructure are important because the illustration provides a lens
into the reusable building blocks. This discussion and analysis will result in a
recommendation of a cloud solution for the credit union.
The CTO has asked you to join the team that will provide a recommendation to the
President and BOD. Your first task is to identify the current infrastructure.
Use Microsoft®
Visio®
to create a 1- to 2-page diagram of the current state of M3's
infrastructure that identifies the existing hardware, software, and appliances that serves
as a building block to a cloud solution.

2. Note: Focus on the clarity and level of detail in your diagram, and not necessarily the
visual quality. Review the diagram example for guidance.
Write a 1- to 2-page executive summary to provide your cloud solution recommendation
to M3's President and BOD. Include the following in your summary:
 An overview of the business problem, needs, and desired outcomes
 Diagram of the credit union's current-state infrastructure from above (you may
insert into your document using something like the snipping tool)
 An explanation of the cloud computing architecture for the company
 Why the recommended solution is beneficial to the credit union
 Ensure you include an introduction and a conclusion.
