This may seem like a silly question but, I just need to wrap my head around
a concept

Are my VMs limited by host or cluster resources?

4 hosts with the following resources per host:

2 6 core intel processors (24  cores per host)

32GB memory

1.2TB NFS storage

So across the cluster I have

96 cpu cores

128GB memory

4.8TB of NFS storage

Can I create a single VM with let's say:

25 cpu cores

64GB of RAM

2TB of storage

Am I limited by the host or the cluster? ( Keep in mind that I'm not
actually going to create such a ridiculous VM but the question is bothering
me). Thanks
