vstest-action github action is failing due to broken aka.ms link

Question

Looking to get some eyes on this github issue, which is preventing Visual Studio Test "vstest" from being used in pipelines:

https://github.com/microsoft/vstest-action/issues/31

This issue is affecting many users, and the repo seems to be abandoned by Microsoft?

The action fails:

Downloading test tools... C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/local-worker-win-x64 -OutFile D:\a\_actions\microsoft\vstest-action\v1.0.0\dist\win-x64.zip Invoke-WebRequest : The remote name could not be resolved: 'localworker.blob.core.windows.net' At line:1 char:1 + Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/local-worker-win-x64 -OutFile D ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

Who can fix this aka.ms link??
