To grow the LVM, use cloud-init to run a script similar to this example:
growpart /dev/nvme0n1 5 lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/mapper/rocky-root xfs_growfs /This kickstart generates this image: https://git.resf.org/sig_core/kickstarts/src/branch/r9/Rocky-9-EC2-LVM.ks

Decent RHEL Clone but minor supportability issues
Overall, this is a perfectly serviceable RHEL clone offering. It's nice having an distribution-owner created with LVM-enabled "out of the box" (while there are several such options on Azure, they're thin on the ground in AWS). Currently, only real complaints are:
* No Compliance as Code project-entries, so that tool can't be used to automate security-hardening to desired hardening-benchmarks (PCI/DSS, CIS, STIG, etc.)
* Can't use CSP's automated tasks due to service-document issues – even though it's a RHEL clone, services like SSM and GuardDuty don't quite know what to do with/for it
