Some modules are not there even though they are listed in the config e.g. vrf. This happend in the official focal cloud image.
# ip link add red type vrf table 1
Error: Unknown device type.
# modprobe vrf
modprobe: FATAL: Module vrf not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-48-generic
# grep VRF /boot/config-5.4.0-*
/boot/config-5.4.0-48-generic:CONFIG_NET_VRF=m
# uname -r
5.4.0-48-generic
