Regarding your questions about AWS IVS Real-Time Streaming:
Currently, Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming compositions can be sent to an IVS channel or stored in an S3 bucket, but there is no publicly announced roadmap feature for RTMP egress from Stage Compositions specifically for platforms like YouTube Live.
As for the resolution limits, IVS Real-Time Streaming currently has a maximum input resolution of HD (720p), while the Low-Latency Streaming option supports Full HD (1080p). This is a key difference between the two IVS offerings. The Real-Time option is optimized for ultra-low latency (under 300ms) with up to 25,000 viewers, while sacrificing the higher resolution capability.
There are no publicly announced plans to increase the Real-Time Stage RTMP ingest limit from 720p to 1080p in the available information. If you need 1080p streaming, you would currently need to use the IVS Low-Latency Streaming option instead, though this comes with slightly higher latency (3-5 seconds).
Recent IVS announcements have focused on other features like E-RTMP multitrack video ingest, participant replication, and private ingest via interface VPC endpoints, but not on increasing the resolution limits for Real-Time Streaming.

At this time, Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming does not support RTMP egress from Stage compositions. The service can publish compositions directly to an IVS channel or store them in Amazon S3 using the composition recording configuration, but there is no feature to push the composed output to external RTMP destinations such as YouTube Live. The Real-Time architecture is built around WebRTC for sub‑second latency, which is fundamentally different from RTMP’s buffered transport model, so egress to RTMP targets would require transcoding and latency trade‑offs that IVS hasn’t exposed yet. —Taz

Thanks @MikeLim. How would you recommend getting in touch with someone to request a feature to add allow RTMP egress from Stage Compositions? I'm enjoying using IVS but this limitation might require a complete re-write for my app.
