Increase root / volume size:
Stop the instance
Create a snapshot from the volume
Create a new volume based on the snapshot increasing the size
Check and remember the current's volume mount point (i.e. /dev/sda1)
Detach current volume
Attach the recently created volume to the instance, setting the exact mount point
Restart the instance
Access via SSH to the instance and run fdisk /dev/sda
Hit p to show current partitions
Hit d to delete current partitions (if there are more than one, you have to delete one at a time)
NOTE: Don't worry data is not lost
Hit n to create a new partition
Hit p to set it as primary
Hit 1 to set the first cylinder
Set the desired new space (if empty the whole space is reserved)
Hit a to make it bootable
Hit 1 and w to write changes
Reboot instance
Log via SSH and run resize2fs /dev/sda1
Finally check the new space running df -h
That's it
