No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

1. Yes, you can use the `transformations` property to make arbitrary changes to YAML and Helm Charts before they are applied to the cluster. The sources can also be remote, or local files.
2. We don’t yet have first-class support for kustomize, but you can generate the YAML from kustomize (perhaps as a step in CI), and then manage it with Pulumi.
