# Delivery

> Package applications, deliver installations, and manage customer install changes

Delivery is how Akua turns software into running installations. You define a Product, connect a Package version, and Akua handles installation, configuration, version tracking, and customer-specific install changes.

Use this section when you want to package software for yourself, publish software for customers, or keep installed products updated through reviewable repository changes.

## Common paths

* Start with [Installations](/installs) to understand the runtime model.
* Use [Operate an installation](/installs/operations) when you need status, logs, rollbacks, or reviewed changes.
* Use [Package authoring](/packages) when you are preparing software for deployment.
* Read [Installation repositories](/installs/repositories) when you need the git-backed source-of-truth model.
