# Working with packaging configurations in AWS Elemental MediaPackage
<a name="pkg-cfig"></a>

A packaging configuration defines a single delivery point for an asset. The configuration holds all of the information that's needed for AWS Elemental MediaPackage to integrate with a player or content delivery network (CDN), such as Amazon CloudFront. Configure the configuration to output content in one of the available stream formats:
+ Apple HLS – Packages content to Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) 
+ Microsoft Smooth – Packages content for Microsoft Smooth Streaming players
+ Common Media Application Format (CMAF) – Packages content to devices that support Apple HLS fragmented MP4 (fMP4)
+ DASH-ISO – Packages content for the DASH-ISO ABR streaming protocol

The packaging configuration also holds information about digital rights management (DRM) and encryption integration, bitrate presentation order, and more.
