Kubernetes offers a very rich set of features for container orchestration. Some of its fully supported features are:

• Automatic binpacking
  Kubernetes automatically schedules the containers based on resource usage and constraints, without sacrificing the availability.
• Self-healing
  Kubernetes automatically replaces and reschedules the containers from failed nodes. It also kills and restarts the containers which do not respond to health checks, based on existing rules/policy.
• Horizontal scaling
  Kubernetes can automatically scale applications based on resource usage like CPU and memory. In some cases, it also supports dynamic scaling based on customer metrics.
• Service discovery and Load balancing
  Kubernetes groups sets of containers and refers to them via a Domain Name System (DNS). This DNS is also called a Kubernetes service. Kubernetes can discover these services automatically, and load-balance requests between containers of a given service.
• Automated rollouts and rollbacks
  Kubernetes can roll out and roll back new versions/configurations of an application, without introducing any downtime.
• Secrets and configuration management
  Kubernetes can manage secrets and configuration details for an application without re-building the respective images. With secrets, we can share confidential information to our application without exposing it to the stack configuration, like on GitHub.
• Storage orchestration
  With Kubernetes and its plugins, we can automatically mount local, external, and storage solutions to the containers in a seamless manner, based on software-defined storage (SDS).
• Batch execution
  Besides long running jobs, Kubernetes also supports batch execution.

There are many other features besides the ones we just mentioned, and they are currently in alpha/beta phase. They will add great value to any Kubernetes deployment once they become stable features. For example, support for role-based access control (RBAC) is  stable as of the Kubernetes 1.8 release.
