Techniques for self-tuning of computing systems

A method for self-tuning a computing system is presented. The method comprises mapping a current workload of the computing system to at least one bucket; measuring a current operation metric representing a current operation of the computing system; determining, based on the current operation metric, at least one optimization scheme for each of the at least one bucket, wherein the at least one optimization scheme includes at least a list of system knobs having optimal values configured to adjust the operation of the computing device to meet at least one predefined target metric; and setting each of the system knobs listed in the at least one determined optimization scheme to its respective value.
