---------------------------------------------------------
Marcus,
For the CentOS cloud image hackaton at Fosdem I contributed an image
(kickstart) that resizes the partition. It uses cloud-init and dracut-growroot.
You can check it out here:

I will contribute tips to do the same for FreeBSD and Windows.

> Key: CLOUDSTACK-6181
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6181
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: Hypervisor Controller, Storage Controller, UI
> Affects Versions: 4.4.0
> Environment: KVM/libvirt/CentOS, Xenserver
> Reporter: Nux
> Labels: disk, resize, template
> Fix For: 4.4.0
>
>
> Rationale:
> Currently the root size of an instance is locked to that of the template.
> This creates unnecessary template duplicates, prevents the creation of a
> market place, wastes time and disk space and generally makes work more
> complicated.
> Real life example - a small VPS provider might want to offer the following
> sizes (in GB):
> 10,20,40,80,160,240,320,480,620
> That's 9 offerings.
> The template selection could look like this, including real disk space used:
> Windows 2008 ~10GB
> Windows 2008+Plesk ~15GB
> Windows 2008+MSSQL ~15GB
> Windows 2012 ~10GB
> Windows 2012+Plesk ~15GB
> Windows 2012+MSSQL ~15GB
> CentOS ~1GB
> CentOS+CPanel ~3GB
> CentOS+Virtualmin ~3GB
> CentOS+Zimbra ~3GB
> CentOS+Docker ~2GB
> Debian ~1GB
> Ubuntu LTS ~1GB
> In this case the total disk space used by templates will be 828 GB, that's
> almost 1 TB. If your storage is expensive and limited SSD this can get
> painful!
> If the root resize feature is enabled we can reduce this to under 100 GB.
