MySql configurations & tweeking

You can build your own configurations but it takes lot of time and R&D to get best configurations. You can generate configurations through wizard percona tools https://tools.percona.com/wizard
We will modify some parameters according to our needs. Sample configurations which i use on MySql Percona 5.6 are as follow.
