Hi there! This case, looks relevant to sporadic dns resolution issues due to an AWS route53 incident. more info. To add some context, the build job is issuing a requests to github, for downloading the wifi-connect tar. Github is using route53:

$ dig NS api.github.com @1.1.1.1

The issue is currently marked as resolved on the health dashboard of aws: https://status.aws.amazon.com/, so a retry should work for you.
Please let us know if you have further questions, or need help.
