The GCE test VMs had 12 GB storage hardcoded and AWS 8 but after
increasing the /boot, /usr, and /oem partitions, the new image size is
not 8 GB as with the raw image but 13 GB because the rootfs is set to 6
GB in the VM disk layout, and for AWS we also switched to the same
layout as other VMs while before it had a very small rootfs.
Increase the hardcoded VM storage size to 16 GB to compensate for the
almost 4 GB partition increase.

How to use

Testing done

  • Changelog entries added in the respective changelog/ directory (user-facing change, bug fix, security fix, update)
  • Inspected CI output for image differences: /boot and /usr size, packages, list files for any missing binaries, kernel modules, config files, kernel modules, etc.

With that all tests passed. The new size for AWS AMIs will also be used when publishing with plume.
