Understanding CPU and Cores

Hello, I am new to ESXi so I’m trying to understand my environment and the best practices when building VM for my company. I have 8 total Nodes in the cluster with the below in each:

CPU

Cores 28 CPUs x 2.59 GHz Processor Type Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6132 CPU @ 2.60GHz

Sockets 2

Cores per Socket 14

Logical Processors 56

So the most I can give a heavily used VM is 14 cores and 14 CPU’s? They asked me to build a DB VM with 56 CPUs. Thanks in advance.
