Hi Mahardhika,
It was difficult for me to find the correct cloud-init options as well.
You will need to have the instance grow the disk on-the-fly during boot if
you're using the KVM hypervisor.

The following is the basic cloud-init configuration that you need to pass
as user-data to your instance on launch.  If this does not work then the
CentOS image you're using has too old a version of cloud-init or this
feature is not supported by cloud-init on CentOS.  Try it let us know..

#cloud-config
growpart:
  mode: auto
  devices: ['/']
