Verifying a download

Compare the file you downloaded against the matching line in SHA256SUMS.

# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\ballast-agent-1.0.3.exe -Algorithm SHA256

# Linux
sha256sum ballast-centre-1.0.3

This confirms the file matches what was published here — it does not by itself prove who published it. See Security for the current state of binary provenance.

Agent source

The agent is open source (Apache 2.0) at github.com/halvantic/hyperv-control-plane. Build it yourself if you'd rather not use the binary above.
