I've clarified with the Public Cloud team that, although the GKE images use
a minimal base, the images are built using linux-gke-$version, NOT
linux-image-gke-$version.

So it's unclear that what Tai-Lin is doing is a use case that the Public
Cloud team is concerned with supporting.

Is 5.15.0-1027-gke the version of a running kernel on your GKE instance?  If
so, why is the headers package not installed already?  If not, why are you
trying to compile kernel modules for this version?
