For F18 you need:
- cloud-utils for the growpart script
- dracut-modules-growroot to do the
root-partition-resizing-in-the-initramfs magic
- cloud-init to resize the root filesystem

cloud-init itself supports growroot as of a few days ago
(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/trunk/revision/790)
but that requires a 3.8 kernel (and probably some userspace tools as
well) that can reload a partition table of a device that's in use. In
this case, dracut-modules-growroot is not required anymore, i.e., both
the partition and filesystem resizing will be done *after* the
initramfs stage.
