They bought and then shuttered Slicehost in an attempt to occupy that market segment.

  DataPipe (another company where tech support was the #1 priority) was also acquired by Rackspace. However I don't know if it was acquired by the original owners or the current org.

    That deal was announced in September 2017 and closed in November, so Rackspace was already in the clutches of Apollo by then.

    Onica too, which I don't know a whole lot about but my impression is that they were the top tier of cloud consultants.

  slicehost wasn't shuttered so much as rebranded. rackspace didn't have a viable vm service prior to slicehost.
