Overview: BIG-IQ Cloud
As a cloud administrator, you use BIG-IQ Cloud to customize F5 iApps to supply tenants with self-service access to resources, including servers, storage, applications, and services. You can also easily create one configuration and distribute it to multiple tenants, reducing setup time for your users. Tenants can access these optimized resources without having to perform complicated network tasks, ensuring the accuracy of complex traffic management configurations.
BIG-IQ Cloud also easily integrates with cloud service providers, like Amazon EC2 and VMware products. Depending on the application requirements and traffic volume, you can use your local cloud resources, public cloud resources, or a hybrid of both. In this way, you can easily expand and reallocate resource as needed, without requiring you purchase more equipment.

About the BIG-IQ system user interface
The BIG-IQ system interface is composed of panels. Each panel contains objects that correspond with a BIG-IQ system feature. Depending on the number of panels and the resolution of your screen, some panels are collapsed on either side of the screen. You can cursor over the collapsed panels to locate the one you want, and click the panel to open. To associate items from different panels, click on an object, and drag and drop it onto the object to which you want to associate it.
