I've been working on my ML skills since mid-2018 when I started my first internship at [Istio](https://istio.io/). After joining [Alibaba Cloud](https://www.alibabacloud.com/) last year I decided that it's time to get more involved in this community so I started attending conferences.
Here's my list:
### International Conferences
#### [NeurIPS 2020](https://neurips.cc/Conferences/2020)
The main conference was online this year due to COVID-19 but it was still great!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend this conference next year but I'll try.
#### [ICLR 2021](https://iclr.cc/Conferences/2021)
I was able to register at this conference so I'm looking forward seeing all those great talks.

#### [ICML 2021](https://icml.cc/Conferences/2021)
This one was also available so I've registered as well.

### Local Conferences
#### [Data Engineering Days Moscow 2021](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g5JiWl3vXw&list=PLDmGyXVq8zZsOx4SfYJXsPcJyVvLlQYIl)
I had great time at this conference! It was my first ever conference in person since COVID-19 started.

#### [PyCon RU 2021](https://pycon.ru/ru-ru/)
This one was online but still great! You can check out all those talks [here](https://pycon.ru/en-us/video) if you're interested.

I've been using Docker for quite some time now but until recently I wasn't able to properly set it up on my laptop.
In this post I'll describe how I installed Docker Desktop Community Edition on Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) along with Kubernetes.
## Prerequisites
Before installing Docker Desktop Community Edition make sure you meet all these requirements:
* Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) or Enterprise (64-bit), version **1709** or higher.
* At least **4GB** of RAM.
* At least **40GB** of available storage.
* Hyper-V enabled.
* Containers feature enabled.
To enable Hyper-V run `dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:"Microsoft-Hyper-V" /all` command as Administrator.
You may need to restart your computer after running it.
To enable Containers feature run `dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:"Containers"` command as Administrator.
You may need to restart your computer after running it too.
## Installation
To install Docker Desktop Community Edition go ahead and download it from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows).
Then double-click `Docker Desktop Installer.exe` file you downloaded earlier.
Follow instructions provided by installer wizard until installation process is finished.
After installation process finishes open Start menu -> type `docker` -> select **Docker Desktop** -> click **Settings** button.
On Settings window change **General** tab options as follows:
* Check **Enable Kubernetes** checkbox.
* Change **Kubernetes Context** dropdown value from `default` to `docker-for-desktop`.
Then click **Apply & Restart** button.
After restarting Docker Desktop wait until Kubernetes cluster gets ready (this may take several minutes).
You can check its status by running `kubectl cluster-info` command in PowerShell or Git Bash terminal window.
If everything goes fine you should see something like this:
bash
$ kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at https://kubernetes.docker.internal:6443
CoreDNS is running at https://kubernetes.docker.internal:6443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
Now let's test whether our installation works correctly by running following commands:
bash
$ docker run hello-world
Unable to find image 'hello-world' locally
hello-world: Pulling from library/hello-world
d1725b59e92d: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:b8a990ec5ebfe7bde11611fc7c942a9cfc7183ae4b02da579e6fc71b5cbf6467
Status: Downloaded newer image for hello-world:latest
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.
To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
...
bash
$ kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.4 --port=8080 --expose
deployment.apps/hello-minikube created
service/hello-minikube created
$ kubectl get services hello-minikube
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
hello-minikube LoadBalancer 10.96.122.223 localhost 8080:31313/TCP 17s
$ curl localhost:31313
{
"ClientConnection": {
"Host": "10.244.0.6",
"Pod": "hello-minikube-fc57c44bd-gg9jl",
"Version": "Version{GitVersion:"v1.13.0", GitCommit:"eecf22f54a194b73a173cd28e417025b7dc7dbcf", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-11-26T14:38\u002b00:00", GoVersion:"go1.11.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}"
}
}
If everything goes fine then congratulations! You've successfully installed Docker Desktop Community Edition along with Kubernetes on Windows machine!

title: "Benefits Of Using Kustomize"

[Kustomize](https://kustomize.io/) is a powerful tool which allows us manage our Kubernetes resources declaratively without using YAML files directly.
It helps us keep our manifests DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) while still being flexible enough for customizing them according our needs.
In this post we will look at some benefits of using Kustomize instead of YAML files directly when working with Kubernetes clusters.
## Benefits Of Using Kustomize
### Declarative Manifests Management Without YAML Files Directly
One major benefit of using Kustomize is that it allows us manage our Kubernetes resources declaratively without having any YAML files directly involved into process.
This means that instead of writing YAML manifests manually we can simply create kustomization.yaml file which describes what changes should be applied onto existing resources managed by Kustomize plugin installed into our cluster control plane components such as API server etc...
For example let's say we want add some labels onto all pods deployed within namespace called 'my-app'.
Instead writing YAML manifest like below:
yaml=
apiVersion v1 kind Pod metadata name pod-label namespace my-app labels app=my-app env=production spec containers name nginx image nginx port containerPort=80
we can create kustomization.yaml file containing following content:
yaml=
apiVersion v1 kind List items path .
Then apply changes onto existing resources using command like below:
bash=
kubectl apply -k ./path/to/kustomization.yaml
### Keeping Manifests DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
Another benefit worth mentioning here would be fact that Kustomize helps us keep manifests DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
This means that if we have multiple manifests which contain similar values then we
