If this is your first time looking into the topic of Merative Social Program Management (SPM) on Kubernetes, this is the right place to start.

Now, before moving forward on the specifics, take a look at the videos available in this section to familiarise yourself with the main concepts of a containerised architecture on Kubernetes.

The first thing you need to know is that SPM introduced five new mandatory technologies to deploy on Kubernetes.

TechnologyDescription
