    Pretty sure the microsoft labs are gone now. You can either do your testing on Azure free trial or download evaluations from here.

    Hi,

    It seems the Microsoft virtual lab is no longer available.

    But SQL Server 2019 provides a free developer edition. It includes all the functionality of Enterprise edition, but is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server. You can use this resource to build and configure your Always on availability group/FCI environment.
