I'd like to see more examples of this working with other configuration management tools besides Puppet.

I'd be glad to accept PRs. I don't use Ansible so I can't really help much here. (Actually, I thought Ansible has its own mechanism for storing secrets... wouldn't that eliminate the need for Blackbox?)

What you are referring to is ansible-vault; however, it still requires a master vault password file.

See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html#providing-vault-passwords

Ah, yes, having a way to store the master vault password would be awesome. Do you use blackbox for that? Would you write brief few steps on how to set it up?
