The diagram groups technologies by role; it is not a claim about exact VM, container, network or firewall topology.
What this demonstrates
Practical familiarity with virtualization, service configuration, DNS, storage, monitoring and remote-access tooling. The home lab complements my professional Level 1/2 IT helpdesk experience.
For privacy and security, public documentation omits internal addresses, hostnames, credentials and detailed firewall rules.
