Binary packages for fast installation via AnVIL::install() for Bioconductor and CRAN packages are available at through a CRAN-style repository at https://storage.googleapis.com/bioconductor-packages/3.15/container-binaries/. The packages are generated with the internal Bioconductor package, BiocKubeInstall, which parallelizes package installation and binary creation on a Kubernetes cluster using Google Kubernetes Engine. The clusters runs and deploys builds Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturday through a scheduled Github Action. See the BiocKubeInstall Documentation for more information.

BiocKubeInstall works with mtmorgan/RedisParam, which facilitations parallelization over a Kubernetes cluster. Docker images for bioc-redis:manager and a release worker e.g bioc-redis:RELEASE_3_14 are on DockerHub.
