Latency of my application deployed to AWS Elastic Beanstalk is generally about 50 ms, I want another instance to start if average latency goes to 500ms (1/2 second). You can change the scaling Trigger in the configuration and select Latency, but the smallest Unit of Measurement is Second and Upper and Lower Scale Increments values must be an integer or percent.
So it doesn't seem possible to set a trigger as required.
