+## Default Ray Start Parameters for KubeRay
+
+This document outlines the default settings for `rayStartParams` in KubeRay.
+
+
+### Options Exclusive to the Head Pod
+
+- `--dashboard-host`: Host for the dashboard server, either `localhost` (127.0.0.1) or `0.0.0.0`.
+The latter setting exposes the Ray dashboard outside the Ray cluster, which is required when [ingress](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/master/docs/guidance/ingress.md) is utilized for Ray cluster access.
+The default value for both Ray and KubeRay 0.5.0 is `localhost`. Please note that this will change for versions of KubeRay later than 0.5.0, where the default setting will be `0.0.0.0`.
+
+- `--no-monitor`: This option disables the monitor and autoscaler in the **user's container**. It will be automatically set when [autoscaling](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/master/docs/guidance/autoscaler.md) is enabled. The autoscaling feature introduces the autoscaler as a sidecar container within the head pod, thereby obviating the need for a monitor and autoscaler in the **user's container**. See [PR #13505](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/13505) for more details. Modification is not recommended.
+
+
+- `--port`: Port for the GCS server. The port is set to `6379` by default. Please ensure that this value matches the `gcs-server` container port in Ray head container.
+
+- `--redis-password`: Redis password for an external Redis, necessary when [fault tolerance](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/master/docs/guidance/gcs-ft.md) is enabled. 
+The default value is `""` after Ray 2.3.0. See [#929](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/929) for more details. 
+
+### Options Exclusive to the worker Pods
+
+- `--address`: Address of the GCS server. Worker pods utilize this address to establish a connection with the Ray cluster. By default, this address takes the form `<FQDN>:<GCS_PORT>`. The `GCS_PORT` corresponds to the value set in the `--port` option. For more insights on Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), refer to [PR #938](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/938) and [PR #951](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/951).
+
+### Options Applicable to Both Head and Worker Pods
+
+- `--block`: This option blocks the ray start command indefinitely. It will be automatically set by KubeRay. See [PR #675](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/675) for more details. Modification is not recommended.
+
+- `--memory`: Amount of memory on this Ray node. Default is determined by Ray container resource limits. Modify Ray container resource limits instead of this option. See [PR #170](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/170).
+
+- `--metrics-export-port`: Port for exposing Ray metrics through a Prometheus endpoint. The port is set to `8080` by default. Please ensure that this value matches the `metrics` container port if you need to customize it. See [PR #954](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/954) and [prometheus-grafana doc](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/blob/master/docs/guidance/prometheus-grafana.md) for more details.
+
+- `--num-cpus`: Number of logical CPUs on this Ray node. Default is determined by Ray container resource limits. Modify Ray container resource limits instead of this option. See [PR #170](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/170). However, it is sometimes useful to override this autodetected value. For example, setting `num-cpus:"0"` for the Ray head pod will prevent Ray workloads with non-zero CPU requirements from being scheduled on the head.
+
+- `--num-gpus`: Number of GPUs on this Ray node. Default is determined by Ray container resource limits. Modify Ray container resource limits instead of this option. See [PR #170](https://github.com/ray-project/kuberay/pull/170).
