There's a couple of errors in your template.

SrcDbName: postgres
  Type: String

and all others in that form are not correct. They should be

SrcDbName:
  Description: Source Database Name
  Type: String
  Default: postgres

for example.

You'll also need your replication destination endpoint and a replication task (IIRC).
