Codeup, the San Antonio-based, boot-camp style technology training program, purchased the Rackspace Cloud Academy from Rackspace Technology Friday.
The purchase increases Codeup’s size in the city, the number of students it can graduate each year, and the variety of training programs and certifications the school can offer.
“I think that since the day we opened Codeup, we have looked at the Open Cloud Academy with a tremendous amount of respect,” said Jason Straughan, co-founder and CEO. “We’re happy that all of these years later we’re gonna be able to come under one roof.”

Best of the City 2021: Personalities
Published: February 22, 2021 Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff
Nearly every weekday evening since March 2020, Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Judge Nelson Wolff have appeared before the media and community (via social media and public access TV) to provide COVID-19 updates. Along with reporting SA’s daily case numbers, deaths and hospitalizations, they’ve answered questions about regulations, reminded the community to mask up and tried to communicate the urgency that came with filling hospitals and emerging vaccine availability. The virus became a political issue at nearly every level in 2020 and our local leaders played the game when necessary, with Wolff finding what can only be described as a loophole in Gov. Greg Abbott’s initial order not requiring masks. While the state regulation said Wolff couldn’t mandate mask wearing for residents, Wolff found he could require county businesses to insist their customers wear mas
