Debezium with PostgreSQL: "io.debezium.DebeziumException: Creation of replication slot failed"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The Debezium connector fails to start, with a managed cloud installation of a PostgreSQL database. The error message is:

"io.debezium.DebeziumException: Creation of replication slot failed"

The problem has been seen with Google Cloud SQL, but probably affects other managed environments as well.
