I'm looking for something like a sanitized/anonymized documentation set of a real or realistic company environment, showing things such as:
Overall infrastructure / architecture
Network topology and connections
Servers and their roles
AD / DNS / DHCP
Firewalls and network segmentation
VLANs, subnets and routing
Internet/ISP connectivity
Applications and how they communicate
Storage and backups
Cloud + on-premise connectivity
Security architecture
How users/devices connect to the infrastructure
Monitoring and IT operations
Basic workflows and dependencies
Basically, I'd like to see how all these pieces fit together in an actual business, from the user's computer all the way through the network, servers, applications, Internet, backups, security, etc.
I understand that a real company's exact configuration, IP addresses, firewall rules, credentials, etc. would obviously be confidential. I'm looking for public examples, lab environments, case studies, architecture diagrams, documentation templates, or sanitized real-world infrastructure documentation that I can study.
If you were learning system administration from scratch, what resources would you recommend for understanding the whole environment rather than just individual technologies?
I'd especially appreciate examples that show the complete picture and the relationships between components, not just a single network diagram.
