Packages contain a number of operations that provide some functionality to be used within an IT Automation. In general, the operations contained within a package would relate in some form, i.e User Account Management (Create, Delete, Disable, Enable, etc.). However, it is completely up to yourself what operations are contained within a package. You could, for example, have a package called toolbox, which contains operations for User Management, TCP/IP Utilities, File Management etc. This would no doubt become a little confusing and difficult to manage in the long term.
