Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a database being maintained that has information indicating states of network resources, which can be determined based on physical activities, logical activities and hybrid activities performed on or by the network resources; obtaining activity information for a particular network resource, where the activity information is a physical activity, a logical activity and/or a hybrid activity; and determining whether a state change for the particular network resource should be made such as to whether the activity information corresponds to and warrants change to at least one of an inventory state, an operational state, or a detailed state. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Multi-stage state model for the administration of physical, logical, and hybrid resources

A dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing service path design microservice (ddSPDmS) can provide a scalable self-contained meta-data driven approach for a flexible implementation of a dark fiber dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) service path design solution. The service plan design solution can be used as a standalone solution or integrated with a network management application. In order to manage a large volume of circuit designs, multiple microservices can accept application program interface (API) requests in a cloud environment. Permission can then be given to any application to use the API to make a call to the design and inventory. Additionally, metadata templates can be designed to support a node, a link, and/or a topology for the microservices.
