In addition to multi-node distribution, there are a bunch of things Kubernetes gives you. Things that you may think you don't need, but you probably will if you ever intend to put something into production. To name just a few:

- Secret distribution

- Managing persistent volumes

- Monitoring containers for failure, restarting according to policy

- Service discovery and DNS integration

- Integration with load balancers, setting up routes, etc.

- Managing affinity / non-affinity for containers

- Sharing resources on a cluster via namespaces

This alone warrants an orchestration solution, even on a single machine.
