Vagrant is useful if you want to simulate a whole box, or a cluster of boxes - for example, you can spin up a cluster of 3 VMs to run Mesosphere DC/OS [0]. If you build and deploy just containers, and don't have any full VMs in your stack, then you might not need Vagrant. Vagrant also claims to provide a "good workflow for writing Dockerfiles"; it can provide a nicer user abstraction over `docker [many, many args]` for running your biz [1].

DC/OS (A Mesos distribution) can be used on your laptop with dcos-vagrant or dcos-docker: - https://github.com/dcos/dcos-vagrant - https://github.com/dcos/dcos-docker However, your point is somewhat valid in that Mesos requires you to allocate resources to everything you run, while resource allocation/enforcement is optional in Kubernetes. So you can easily run too many things and freeze your computer with Kubernetes, while Mesos is more conservative.
