# Working with endpoints in AWS Elemental MediaPackage
<a name="endpoints"></a>

An endpoint defines a single delivery point of a channel. The endpoint holds all 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 endpoint to output content in one of the available stream formats:
+ Apple HLS – Packages content to Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)
+ Microsoft Smooth Streaming – Packages content for Microsoft Smooth Streaming players
+ DASH-ISO – Packages content for the DASH-ISO ABR streaming protocol
+ CMAF – Packages content to devices that support Apple HLS fragmented MP4 (fMP4)

Additionally, the endpoint holds information about digital rights management (DRM) and encryption integration, stream bitrate presentation order, and more.
