The Modern.ie Virtual Machine Images – VMs used for testing several versions of IE – are now also available as vagrant boxes. Here’s the list:

$ vagrant box add {title} {url}
$ vagrant init {title}
$ vagrant up

http://aka.ms/vagrant-* legacy links are dead, since modernievirt.blob.core.windows.net host are not exist. Use http://aka.ms/*.vagrant updated boxes.

These new URLs are not equivalent to the old ones. Instead of directly referencing a .box file the files are now zipped and must be unzipped prior to use which means they can't be directly referenced via vagrant box add {title} {url} as far as I can tell...

"The "metadata.json" file for the box 'ie11' was not found.
Boxes require this file in order for Vagrant to determine the
provider it was made for. If you made the box, please add a
"metadata.json" file to it. If someone else made the box, please
notify the box creator that the box is corrupt. Documentation for
box file format can be found at the URL below:

@bannsec Your purpose (use case)
You should not be excessively hitting those URLs anyway. Download them once and store them on a local drive or share and reference them from there.

I believe the reason that you need to use the download form is that they have a time limited license which expires after 90 days.
