Is there any difference between performing an OpenStack soft reboot instance through the web interface Horizon and SSH into the instance and perform sudo reboot
?

OpenStack Dashboard Server Reboot
Use this function to perform either a soft or hard reboot of a server. With a soft reboot, the operating system is signaled to restart, which allows for a graceful shutdown of all processes. A hard reboot is the equivalent of power cycling the server. The virtualization platform should ensure that the reboot action has completed successfully even in cases in which the underlying domain/VM is paused or halted/stopped.
Nova Server Reboot
OpenStack soft reboot:
$ nova reboot INSTANCE
OpenStack hard reboot:
$ nova reboot --hard INSTANCE
Server Reboot
If you perform sudo reboot
OpenStack will not know whether the reboot was intentional...
