# 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.

> **[Installations](https://akua-1dce587a.mintlify.site/installs.md)**
>
> Understand running instances, lifecycle states, and installation ownership.

> **[Operate an installation](https://akua-1dce587a.mintlify.site/installs/operations.md)**
>
> Check status, inspect logs, review changes, and roll back.

> **[Package authoring](https://akua-1dce587a.mintlify.site/packages.md)**
>
> Create the installable package Akua deploys to clusters.

> **[Repository change requests](https://akua-1dce587a.mintlify.site/installs/repository-change-requests.md)**
>
> Prepare, review, and accept install changes before they apply.
