Thanks your response.
Please check the following details.
1) Size of Postgres cluster.

Dump/restore
Replication
Etc
A. I'm exploring the options and trying to know the pros, cons of each of these methods.
3) How are you installing Postgres:
Ubuntu repos
Postgres community repos
A. Using postgres community repos.
4) Location of one machine relative to other
A. The machines are hosted on cloud and from the same region.
5) Time frame to do migration.
