How can I make such cutouts in the cylinder in blender? Boolean operations? Or there is an easier way to do this?

Thank you!

    The image has very low quality, maybe try to upload a better one if possible. Search for bool tool, you can make a cylinder and use it to cut out those "stripes" – WhatAMesh Sep 17 '18 at 08:19

I change my answer because the first one was a bit tedious, beginning with knife, digging a hole then making a circle with the extrusion is much faster:

  • Create a cylinder, mirror it, cut an oblique edge with the knife, bevel it several times, cut a hole.

enter image description here

  • Extrude, the hole, make it a circle with ShiftAltS, use LoopTools > Space if you need the circle vertices to be regularly spaced.

enter image description here

  • Cut the top part, keep only a half circle, extrude the left and right edge and join the vertices to circle's vertices.

enter image description here

  • Extrude down, fill the bottom of the extrusion. Give a Subdivision Surface modifier to your object. Add extra edge loops to sharp the edges.
