Sorry for the late answer on this one.
There are various options. If you are looking to build a proof of concept, then you can get started with the MXChip Devkit which is a great way of discovering and playing around with all Azure IoT capabilities. The site will point you to Seeed Studio's to purchase a kit, but you can also find it on amazon.
The site also has a set of samples with getting started instructions.
I would also invite you to check out the catalog of certified devices.
For a simple button, the ReButton is a good option. Not sure you can control the led remotely on this one though, I didn't try.
You can also consider getting started with a Raspberry Pi, a breadboard, LEDs, a Button.
ESP chip based boards are an option as well such as the Huzzah.
Hope this helps!
Happy hacking
