Hi Jorge, +1 for QUEUED and DETACHED
I would suggest to make the time how long we keep entities in DELETED state configurable. We use something like 30 days, too, but we have made it configurable to adapt to changes...

For entities that have the concept of being attached/detached why not have a 'DETACHED' status to indicate that the entity is not provisioned at all (i.e. The config is just stored in the DB). When it is attached during provisioning then we can set it to 'ACTIVE' or any of the other provisioning statuses such as 'ERROR', 'PENDING_UPDATE', etc. Lastly, it wouldn't make much sense to have a 'DELETED' status on these types of entities until the user actually issues a DELETE API request (not to be confused with detaching). Which begs another question, when items are deleted how long should the API return responses for that resource? We have a 90 day threshold for this in our current implementation after which the API returns 404's for the resource.
