RHCSA: What are good materials to supplement the course to study for the exam?
Im doing the RHCSA almost from scratch for my job. I have not experience on Red Hat since 2015 where I actually got the RHCSA accreditation
Pluralsight offer lots of hours of video courses and the Premium sub includes exam prep . I wonder if this is good for the RHCSA exam or if there are better materials out there?
Also, is there a facility anywhere where you pay to have a couple of RH Server VMs in the cloud somewhere to practice for a few weeks that is not exorbitantly expensive?

Unlear on what you're even asking for here:
You say you're doing an RHCSA for your job, but then say you already HAVE an RHCSA??
If you have an RHCSA, you already know you can download/install RHEL for free on a machine of your own...why then do you need a 'cloud somehwere'??
I'm uncertain why this is "unclear". As I said I took the RHCSA exam after completing a boot course in 2015,but hav not touched it since. If you take any IT accreditation, you don't have it forever (if that were true I'd have 6 MCSEs!), and it expires after a few years. I know I can install a single instance of Linux on my computer(just about), but that is not enough to practice network stuff etc. That is why I enquired about paying for temporary use of cloud resources to build temporary VMs.

What is unclear is you took it once, and passed....you obviously know the materials to study, since you did it before.
If you've got an RHCSA, you should easily be able to install Linux (not sure what "just about" means). And since you can install it, you can also use virtual machines on your own, local system to install several OTHER 'servers'. VirtualBox is one of several options to allow you to run several machines on one set of hardware, to let you 'practice network stuff'.
