Hi PK,

 

Please find my answers below, I hope that will help you :

1) You can use whatever network CIDR you want, you have a full freedom to choose anyone. Of course, if you want to interconnect with your on premise environment thru a VPN you have to choose accordingly to avoid IP overlap.

To be more precise, you have 2 different parts into VMC: First is the management part that VMware is responsible for and where vCenter, ESXi hosts and NSX appliances will be deployed: you choose any RFC1918 CIDR.
And on the other side you have your Compute environment where you will deploy your workloads and you can create any private IP network/subnets as described above.

2) For BFD I don't know if we do support it on our VPN. So, in this case, let me ask you if it's about L3 or L2 VPN?
We do support resilience on our VPN: both L3 and L2. Maybe someone else can answer to your switching speed?

3) you can use Netflow or IPFIX and can do port mirroring if needed, see: https://cloud.vmware.com/community/2019/04/25/port-mirroring-vmware-cloud-aws/ 

Cheers
