This only works on the new expandable volumes. YMMV, as always.
1. Examine
file -s /dev/xvd*
lsblk
df -h
2. Grow partition
Expand the modified partition using growpart (and note the unusual syntax of separating the device name from the partition number):
growpart /dev/xvda 1
lsblk
3. Expand filesystem
resize2fs /dev/xvda1
df -h
