I really like what has been done with Salt to extend configuration
management to each Qube, however, I prefer Ansible RedHat to Salt and
use it to manage every other machine in my fleet. It seems
would be more efficient in the long run for me to utilize Ansible
instead of Salt, to cut down on duplication of tasks. I was
hoping to get some feedback on the following model before I started
working, as to cut down on any mistakes.

Ansible would run in dom0 or a trusted management Qube. Dom0 would be
preferable, as it could then create and destroy VMs, however this
could likely be done through a custom Qubes RPC within the management
Qube. Ansible supports a variety of "connection" types and I was
considering writing a connection type utilizing qrexec. In
this model, configuration commands would be pushed to each Qube from
dom0 (or the trusted management VM) using qrexec, and Ansible would
function more or less unaware of the change.

My primary question is how Qubes Salt avoids any possible attack back
from each individual Qube while still relaying state information.
