# Resource Allocation

<code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> allocates DBaaS MongoDB resources per contract. The resources refer to the MongoDB **Clusters**, number of **CPU** cores, **RAM**, and the **Storage** database quota. The default quota includes:

* 16 CPU Cores
* 32 GB RAM
* 5 database clusters
* 1500 GB Disk Space
* varying nodes within each cluster based on the chosen Edition

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** A single instance of your database cluster cannot exceed 16 CPU cores and 32 GB RAM.
{% endhint %}

You can view the number of resources that are available and can be used and the number of resources already consumed. Based on the resources available here, you can allocate resources during the creation of a database cluster. For resource allocation, contact [<mark style="color:blue;">IONOS CLOUD Support</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/).

The database resources allocated as per your user contract are displayed in **Resource allocation**.
