You can set metadata on the resource using the podBuilder (Deployment, etc).

```const deployment = new kx.Deployment("nginx", {
    metadata: {annotations: {foo: "bar"}},
    spec: pb.asDeploymentSpec()
}, {provider: provider});```

If that doesn’t give you enough flexibility for your task, please file an issue with details. 

thanks <@UE1LN7A22>, how would i put an annotation on the pod itself, rather than the deployment? doesn’t that need to go into the deployment template metadata area?

Ah, yes. That seems to be an oversight on the PodBuilder. Could you file an issue with details about what you were trying to do?

In the meantime, you can still specify the PodTemplateSpec as usual with kx (skip the PodBuilder), which still gives the advantages of simpler syntax, easier volume/secret mounts, etc. It is still early days, so expect some rough edges.
