This template delineates the architecture of a web content management system across different environments: development (Dev), quality assurance (QA), production (Prod), and the end-user experience. Each section is partitioned by a firewall for security purposes.
For the Dev and QA teams, the diagram showcases Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Sitecore instances, and SQL Servers, with an emphasis on content delivery and authoring. The transition to the Prod environment mirrors this architecture, with additional attention on authoring for web authors. End-users interact with the system via content delivered through Sitecore instances managed by load balancers to ensure efficient traffic distribution.
The diagram serves as a blueprint to help IT architects, system administrators, and developers understand and build a robust content management system infrastructure, particularly one utilizing Sitecore within a Microsoft Azure environment.
