You will have to set reclaim_instance_interval > 0 on your nova.conf and all delete actions will be soft by default (unless you force delete it).

The following VM state are documented in https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/VMState .

SOFT_DELETED: VM is no longer running on compute, but the disk image remains and can be brought back. HARD_DELETED: From quota and billing's perspective, the VM no longer exists. VM will eventually be destroyed running on compute, disk images too.

But how do you do soft delete through API or the nova command ?
1. nova restore <server> - "Restore a soft-deleted server " . But I don't see a nova command to do a soft delete ( only a nova force-delete ). 2. From API , POST /v2/{tenant_id}/servers/{server_id}/action with action = forceDelete will delete the server. Again, no way to soft delete the instance.
