It is often easy to focus on specific technologies and their capabilities without necessarily understanding the abstractions they provide or the higher-level design patterns they enable. Schedulers can be used to decouple operators from developers to increase developer productivity and reduce the operators overhead. Using a scheduler also allows for bin packing of work onto machines, increasing resource utilization and reducing the total cost of operation for a large-scale fleet.
