+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                           |

Review comment:
       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.
