Yeah, but it was only for a side-project, so I only had a single VM to migrate.
I went from AWS (cost ~£25/mo) to Microsoft Azure DE because I didn't want any user data to be subject to search by US law enforcement/national security. I thought the bill would be about the same, but it more than quadrupled almost overnight even though traffic levels, etc., were the same (i.e., practically non-existent).
What was happening was Azure was absolutely shafting me on bandwidth, even with Cloudflare in the mix (CF really doesn't help unless you're getting at a decent amount of traffic).
In the end I moved to a dedicated server with OVH that was far more powerful and doesn't have the concerns around bandwidth charges (unless I start using a truly silly amount of bandwidth, of course).
