You can also review PCI, SOC, and other compliance and audit practices to understand why enterprise production environments are built the way they tend to get built. Also, look at some reference architecture plans and then imagine how you’d host 3-4 orthogonal designs in one enterprise. The overlaps will yield insights into complexity. I’m in enterprise architecture and cloud migrations for big, highly regulated institutions, and came from $B e-com. We build for security and resilience across everything. Business, dev, security and operations teams don’t always have alignment and equal input in these designs (as in, enterprise security affects everyone, inside and out). That creates a certain kind of baseline for what you’re researching.
