As PhilippGille pointed out, if you have a permanent connection to your cluster there is no need use Distr. Distr empowers you to ship and monitor your application if you only get a one time access to the deployment target. You can install the agent once and afterwards the agent creates a reverse tunnel (https polling for new actions to perform) that let's you perform upgrades and monitor the deployment even if you are not directly connected to the deployment.
