Root Volume size defined via Service Offering
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If a Service Offering is created with a root disk size, then resizing the Root volume is possible only by resizing the VMs service offering.

Service offering Root resizing constrains:
#. Users cannot deploy VMs with custom root disk size when using such offerings
#. Users cannot resize the VM root disk size when using such offerings
#. The Root Volume of such VMs can only be resized when changing to another Service Offering with a Root disk size equals or larger than the current one.
#. Users can change the VM offering to a service offering with a Root size of 0GB (default) and then customize the volume size.

The following table shows possible combinations of Service offering supported resizing based on the offering Root disk size:

+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| # | Service Offering Root size | new Service Offering Root | Does support offering resize? |
+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 1 | 0GB (default) | Any | YES |
+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 2 | 5GB | 5GB | YES |
+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 3 | 5GB | 10GB | YES |
+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 4 | 10GB | 5GB | NO |
+---+----------------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------+
| 5 | Any | 0GB | YES |

as you state below that shrinking is not supported, I think an extra remark on this line is in order. It certainly implies that shrinking is allowed.

Note that shrinking the Root disk is not supported via the service offering resizing workflow.
