Inter-connecting ACI ON-Prem to Public IaaS Cloud

I have been reading vaious Cisco documents about ACI Hybrid Cloud setup (for Azure or AWS). However I am kind of confused from one doc to another. Here below are some confusing points hope someone could help clearify.

 

Whether using raw Internet OR DX/ER to physically connect between On-prem and Cloud (AWS/Azure), Is IPsec tunnel mandetory required on top of the Internet transport as well as the DX/ER? Update: answered by the link included in the reply.

 

If IPsec tunnel is configured/enabled for the ACI Hybrid Cloud inter-site transport setup:

  1. What would be the termination point of the tunnel on the cloud side (the Cloud native VPN gateway OR CSRv/CAT8Kv), if using raw Internet?
  2. On the on-prem DC side, can the devices inter-connecting the ACI Spine to ISN also be used as the IPSec termination point for on-prem DC?
  3. Assuming only the MTU1500 is supported on the transport, what would be the performance impact of the IPSec termination points for packet fragmentation? Update: answered by the link included in the reply.

Thanks!

This article below, not sure how I missed it from the last round of the doc reading..., answers majority of my questions on Inter-Site connectivity but not all.
