Like sched_setaffinity didn't exist and cgroups can't be used outside some container env?

Service and cluster autoscaling. Automatically allocating and provisioning new nodes on compute demand, and releasing them when done.

It can be done without k8s, but without something similar (e.g. Mesos) you're coding to cloud vendor APIs. K8s is like a cloud operating system, it gives you portable APIs for allocating compute and other cloud resources.

qemu/kvm and libvirt as an example api to address your resource idiom + a load balancer/rev proxy API. You are missing my point afaict.
