Ron/AdrianThanks for your input.Your suggestion is option#1 ASIS-existing server = EC2 with Community PostgreSQL Ver 13.16.2*- ensure to capture all the pre.req meant for ver 15.10 are being met. - enable logical replication tagged to proposed new EC2 server (with newer Higher OS Version ).
Proposed-new EC2 server (with new Operating System version along Postgres Ver 13.16.2 and 15.10 Binaries)* - install postgres 13.16.2 binaries - have postgres setup on par with existing setup and having proper logical replication - install postgres 15.10 binaries - ensure to DISABLE auto startup and shutdown of postgres 13.16.2 - ensure to DISABLE auto startup and shutdown of postgres 15.10 - start postgres db ver 13.16.2 and ensure all are good. no errors in postgres log file - start performing pg_upgrade step to upgrade postgres from ver 13.16.2 to 15.10 pl Vet the newer steps (revised version).
