Scaling an Actor Application on Amazon Beanstalk

Beanstalk does the typical thing an autoscaling app would do: waits for demand (in the form of web requests) to spike, then it spawns new slaves for the cluster based on the registered AMI.

My question is, if I have an actor-based system, can I manually trigger the expansion of the grid? or do I have to route requests to my agents through some kind of http pipeline that AWS would recognize?

Seems like other solutions on AWS (e.g. Hadoop) allow for explicit control. Also, other solutions on top of AWS (e.g. Heroku) do as well.

This is an old question but I think an answer might be useful for those that come after. This looks like a case for AWS Autoscaling. See http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/autoscaling/.
