I would definitely expect this would work - see examples like <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/crosswalk/kubernetes/app-services/#install-nginx>.  (Not `annotations` in that case, but should behave the same).

Note you may also in the general case also need to actually set `obj.metadata` in case it wasn't already there.

Thanks <@UB3BGTV63>, that's definitely what I'm doing and it doesn't work. I know `obj.metadata` exists because when I print it out there's data, but no annotations key. So I set it but it doesn't appear on the eventual object in kubernetes. My other transformations work (changing the command). I tried making at a `pulumi.Output` to see if maybe it had to "wait" for some reason, but that caused some yaml serialization error, so I was wondering if maybe the metadata object was special. Though I guess if you're setting the namespace in that example there, it shouldn't be.
