Both growpart and resizefs are commented out in cloud-init.

With those commented out, I'm unable to launch an instance with a variablely sized boot drive.

Research direction

Start by locating the cloud-init configuration in the Photon repository and inspect the commented growpart and resizefs entries. Reproduce an instance with a variable-sized boot drive; done means the boot drive is expanded and the filesystem is resized during initialization.
