How to resize RHEL Atomic logical partition?

Question

We have a VM in AWS that is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host 7.7.3.1. AWS shows this EBS volume attached to it:

And the size of the volume is 60 GB:

I do not know who set up the VM or how they installed RHEL Atomic. But the instance only has a 10 GB partition as you can see from these commands:

[atomic@xyz ~]$ df

 2      316MB   10.7GB  10.4GB  primary               lvm
        10.7GB  64.4GB  53.7GB           Free Space

How can I extend the root partition to take up the entire 60 GB of the EBS volume? I already tried sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/atomicos/root and that didn't do anything.

I did the following to resize it:

sudo cfdisk /dev/xvda, selected the Free Space, New, Primary, entered the size, Write, Quit
reboot the server
sudo pvcreate /dev/xvda3
sudo vgextend atomicos /dev/xvda3
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/atomicos/root
sudo xfs_growfs /dev/atomicos/root

Now the partition is using the full EBS volume:

[atomic@xyz ~]$ df
