Why do you need to do the "extend filesystem" stuff?  I use KVM at
home with virt-install and the partitioning automatically gives the
right filesystem size:
  zerombr yes
  clearpart --all --initlabel
  part /boot --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --size=100
  part swap --asprimary --size=64
  part / --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --grow --size=1

Or is this a mis-feature of openstack that you're having to work
around?

FWIW, I also have
  network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --ipv6 auto
  authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512

Additional useful packages that I like (I'm a ksh user :-))
  yum
  openssh-server
  openssh-clients
  ksh
  dos2unix
  ntp-perl
  logwatch
  wget
  acpid
  yum-plugin-priorities
  bind-utils

  -efibootmgr
  -kernel-firmware
  -aic94xx-firmware
  -atmel-firmware
  -b43-openfwwf
