AWS ivs medium security documentation change

Service: ivs · 2025-06-22 · Security-related medium

File: ivs/latest/RealTimeUserGuide/rt-stream-ingest.md

Summary

Added documentation about RTMPS (secure RTMP over TLS) and Enhanced RTMP multitrack video capabilities, including bitrate limit clarification

Security assessment

Explicitly documents RTMPS as a secure TLS-encrypted protocol alternative to RTMP, which addresses data-in-transit security. This change promotes secure streaming practices by highlighting encryption capabilities.
