# Workload Allocation Resource Claiming to Workload

Workload allocation begins with the Product Owner creating an estimate for their workloads. Within Space, Product Owners will navigate to a Budget within their Scope and Select the AWS Account where the workload will be created. 

Workload need to be named, have an AWS Pricing Calculator, and a Launch Date(Month). If there is a targeted Teardown for the workload enter the End Month. By default, Estimates will end a year of year.

Once Estimates are created Product Owners, Financial Admins, or Admins can Claim Resources to the Workload within the Resource Tab.
