Hi,
It seems the Microsoft virtual lab is no longer available.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/bb467605(v=msdn.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
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.
Pretty sure the microsoft labs are gone now. You can either do your testing on Azure free trial or download evaluations from here.
