Big-iq 8.2 questions

Hello,

I am tasked with implementing big-iq 8.2, but the documentation isn't clear about some things.

I would like to consolidate the management of a number of different f5 load balancer sets. But there are some constraints, and I lack the big-iq terminology to know what I am looking for. So I will give an example.

I have f5 pairs in Colorado, Virginia, Utah, and Oregon.

- Colorado and Virginia are failover sites for each other.

- Utah, and Oregon are also failover sites for each other.

But the Colorado/Virginia sites and Utah/Oregon sites are significantly different. Separating them out in silos seems wrong.

how do I keep these managed centrally? Do I create big-ip clusters, or device groups? One for Colorado and Virginia, and the other for Utah, and Oregon?

I am just confused, and don't know where to start: I have been digging into the documentation but I think i need to be reset on some of the basics.
