Hello @MiamiDataEng
Yes, Cloudra is no longer making that version of the Cloudera Quickstart VM available for download because it was old and outdated as it was based on CDH 5.13, which went out of support in the Fall of last year. To give you a sense of what I mean, CDH 5.16.2, which came out in the Spring of 2019 (and was more up-to-date than CDH 5.13), included Apache Impala 2.12. CDP Private Cloud Base version 7.1.3, which was released in the Fall of 2020, includes Apache Impala 3.4.0, and includes more new features and bug fixes.
The label on your question indicated you're interested in Cloudera Data Platform. You should be aware, then, that there is extensive and thorough documentation on installing the CDP Private Cloud Base Edition of Cloudera Data Platform (the "free trial" for which expires after 60 days) on a non-production environment for demonstration and proof-of-concept use cases, however it looks to me like this is intended for multi-host clusters of machines. You might not have such a group of machines available to you, and for economic reasons, might want to avoid creating such a cluster using a cloud service provider's IaaS facilities.
Alternatively, if you're already familiar with Virtualbox and Vagrant, you might consider @carrossoni's community article outlining how to create a Centos7 CDP-DC Trial VM for sandbox/learning purposes.
Hope this helps.
