Abstract
A journal service maintains a journal that holds a number of journal entries. Access to the journal entries is controlled by providing a lead resource with access to a named role associated with the journal. A pool of alternate resources containing potential replacements for the lead resource is maintained. A succession order may be established for the pool of alternate resources, and individual resources in the pool of alternate resources may be managed based at least in part on their position within the succession order. The succession order may be established using various criteria that are indicative of a likelihood that a particular alternate resource will be available if the lead resource fails, such as the presence of shared points of failure between the current lead resource and an alternate resource. The lead resource may be replaced with an alternate resource as a result of various impeachment events.
