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

The limitation is on the host level. It is generally a bad idea to give a
guest more cores than the host physically has, and in your case, that's
closer to 12 than 24 - HT is not a double core technology, it only improves
performance and scheduling by a bit, sometimes not at all.
Depending on what the VMs are doing, you might be able to run multiple VMs
on the host, going to more assigned virtual CPUs than the host has,
distributed among multiple VMs, but never overcommit in a single VM.
