Disclaimer: I work at Google on Kubernetes The number one feature we see people get out of containers (as we did at Google) is flexibility. Bin packing and (some) isolation is important and valuable, but the vast majority is just being able to throw 25k containers at a system (Borg for internal work, now Kubernetes externally) and just say "Go run this somewhere." The system figures it out for you - and you never have to deal with server config. Then if you need to move to a new data center - presto, happens in seconds.
