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::
Shrinking the Root disk is not supported via the service offering resizing workflow. All the combinations above assume a transition to Root disks with size equals or bigger than the original.

@DaanHoogland does this disclaimer suffice your concerns?

Service Offerings with Root size of 0GB do not change the disk size to Zero and indicates that the offering do not enforces a Root disk size.
