Pluralsight states 'A Cloud Guru plans are no longer available for purchase'; ACG courses and labs are sold inside the Pluralsight Cloud+ and Complete individual plans as of 2026-10-08. source
A Cloud Guru no longer exists as a product; its courses and cloud sandboxes are a feature of Pluralsight's Cloud+ or Complete subscription. It suits people who want broad certification video coverage with disposable cloud accounts to practice in. Check whether the sandbox and lab features are in the plan you buy, since the free trial excludes them.
