Can a kustomization include a Helm chart?

Show answer and explanation

Answer: Yes, through helmCharts, when the build runs with --enable-helm

Explanation

The helmCharts field renders a chart with Helm, and kustomize build only allows it with --enable-helm. The Kustomize docs call this support limited, so many teams render the chart separately or use a tool that runs Helm itself.
