# Using Channels

Channels can be used to provision a WildFly server in goals that allow channels for provisioning. A WildFly Channel is a YAML file of Maven GAV's. Channels can be used to provision the latest version of WildFly and/or other components that generate a channel manifests.

## Provision the Latest Release

The example below shows how to provision the latest version of WildFly.

        <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
        <configuration>
            <feature-packs>
                <feature-pack>
                    <groupId>org.wildfly</groupId>
                    <artifactId>wildfly-ee-galleon-pack</artifactId>
                </feature-pack>
            </feature-packs>
            <channels>
                <channel>
                    <manifest>
