Alexandru Mahmoud, with the Bioconductor Core Team, gave a short talk at the BioConductor Conference 2022 entitled Bioconductor Helm Chart: A Customizable Deployment Stack For Bioconductor Rstudio.

In this talk, Mahmoud presented the different Kubernetes components that make up the Bioconductor Helm chart, highlighted some commonly useful customizations, and presented a few popular environments where the chart can be deployed. Mahmoud also gave an overview of the Kubernetes ecosystem and how his team used it. He explained Helm charts and the Bioconductor helm chart for RStudio.
