@Po-Hsu Lin When I build this kernel tag, I see linux-image-extra is built and it has the zram module inside it.

How can I reproduce this issue myself?

For the GCP kernel, yes it's missing the linux-image-extra-4.13.0-1012-gcp package, this issue will gone with that package installed.

However as this package was not installed by default (when the instance got deployed), we had a similar issue for aufs.ko for s390x before:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2017-March/082978.html

This can be fixed from the test suite or just doing the same thing above.

For the AWS kernel, there is no extra package available.
