An approach is provided for managing the provisioning and utilization of resources. A management platform determines a request from a user for execution of one or more data processing tasks by a remote computing service. The management platform also processes and/or facilitates a processing of at least one execution constraint associated with the user, a group associated with the user, or a combination thereof to determine a maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof of the remote computing service to be provisioned for fulfilling the request. The management platform further causes, at least in part, a provisioning of one or more clusters, one or more cluster instances, or a combination thereof to the user, the group, or a combination thereof to within the maximum number of clusters, cluster instances, or a combination thereof based on the at least one execution constraint.
