Excellent video, do you have an example of patching using Helm instead of kustomise ?

[forbiddenera]

Oo the kustomize patches will simplify something for me possibly, will have to try but didn't realize that was in 2.9

Does the Kustomize patching extend to helm charts as well, such that you can render a helm template and apply a Kustomize patch on top?
