Canvas Cloud AI Launches to Transform Cloud Education From Memorization to Mastery

By: PRLog
Founded by former Oracle veteran, the platform delivers AI-powered, visual, and interactive learning to close the cloud skills gap

STAMFORD, Conn. - Aug. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- After 21 years at Oracle, including a decade working with major enterprise customers, Kevin Brown has launched Canvas Cloud AI, a new platform designed to close one of the most persistent and costly gaps in technology: the difference between cloud certifications and real-world skills.

While cloud certifications have become the industry benchmark for hiring and promotions, they often test memorization rather than mastery. This gap leaves developers "certified but unprepared" and employees impacted by skill gaps lose up to 44 working days annually due to inefficiencies.

Canvas Cloud AI aims to solve this problem by making cloud education AI-powered, visual, and interactive. Instead of memorizing test questions or watching videos, developers learn by building real infrastructure, deploying applications, designing architectures, and solving hands-on challenges that mirror real cloud environments.

"Certifications create credentials, but not always confidence," said Kevin Brown, Founder of Canvas Cloud AI. "After two decades in big tech, I saw firsthand the frustration this creates for both developers and enterprises. Canvas Cloud AI was built to replace rote memorization with real mastery, so developers can succeed in the real world, not just on exams."

With cloud adoption accelerating across industries, the skills gap remains one of the biggest barriers to success. Canvas Cloud AI believes the next generation of cloud professionals won't be defined by test scores, but by what they can design, deploy, and deliver.

The platform is available now at canvascloud.ai, with a free trial for developers and enterprise packages for teams.
