 <p>A Controller in Nautobot is an abstraction meant to represent network or SDN (Software-Defined Networking) controllers. These may include, but are not limited to, wireless controllers, cloud-based network management systems, and other forms of central network control mechanisms.</p>
-<h2 id="key-features">Key Features<a class="headerlink" href="#key-features" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
+<p>The Controller model is key in representing an entity that is connected to either individual <a href="device.html">Devices</a> or to groups of devices through a <a href="deviceredundancygroup.html"><code>DeviceRedundancyGroup</code></a>.</p>
+<p>Each controller manages one or more devices using <a href="controllerdevicegroup.html"><code>ControllerDeviceGroup</code></a> to show the connection between the controller and its managed devices.</p>
+<p>Key Features:</p>
 <ul>
-<li><strong>Flexible Modeling:</strong> Fits various network management scenarios, including SDN controllers, wireless controllers, and cloud-based services.</li>
+<li><strong>Versatile Modeling:</strong> Suitable for a variety of controllers including Cisco ACI, Juniper MIST, Arista CloudVision, Meraki, and more.</li>
 <li><strong>Device Management:</strong> Allows for the representation of relationships between controllers and the devices or device groups they manage.</li>
 <li><strong>Inventory Queries:</strong> Simplifies finding devices or groups managed by a specific controller, enhancing visibility and management.</li>
 </ul>

-<p>A Controller Managed Device Group in Nautobot models the relationship between <a href="controller.html">controllers</a> and the <a href="device.html">devices</a> they manage.</p>
-<p>Each device can be assigned to only one Controller Managed Device Group through the <code>Device.controller_managed_device_group</code> field.</p>
-<p>Similarly, each group is linked directly to a Controller via the <code>ControllerManagedDeviceGroup.controller</code> field. This link represents the control connection between the controller and the devices in the group.</p>
-<p>Groups can be arranged in a hierarchical structure. The <code>ControllerManagedDeviceGroup.parent</code> field is used to depict this tree structure of the controlled devices. To organize child groups within a parent group, use the <code>ControllerManagedDeviceGroup.weight</code> field. All child groups must be assigned to the same controller as the parent group.</p>
-<p>For more detailed information about model relations, please refer to the <a href="../../../development/core/controllers.html">developer documentation</a>.</p>

+<p>A Controller Device Group in Nautobot models the relationship between <a href="controller.html">controllers</a> and the <a href="device.html">devices</a> they manage. It organizes devices under specific controllers, providing a structured way to represent devices controlled by a central network management system. These systems might include, but are not limited to, software-defined networking (SDN) controllers, wireless controllers, and cloud-based network management platforms.</p>
+<p>The relationship between a Controller Device Group, its controllers, and devices is key to managing and visualizing how devices are grouped and controlled. This model allows devices to be categorized into hierarchical groups, making it easier to manage large networks. Each group is directly associated with a Controller, symbolizing the control link between the controller and the devices within the group.</p>
+<p>Key Features:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Structured Organization:</strong> Facilitates the grouping of devices under specific controllers, simplifying management tasks.</li>
+<li><strong>Flexible Modeling:</strong> Fits various network management scenarios, including SDN controllers, wireless controllers, and cloud-based services.</li>
+<li><strong>Enhanced Management:</strong> Improves the representation of device-controller relationships, aiding in more efficient network management operations.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>For more detailed information about controllers, please refer to the <a href="../../../development/core/controllers.html">developer documentation</a>.</p>
