+Alternatively, you can also create all load balancer targets to be registered in this service, add them to target groups, and attach target groups to listeners accordingly.
+
+```ts
+import elbv2 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-elasticloadbalancingv2');
+
+const service = new ecs.FargateService(this, 'Service', { /* ... */ });
+
+const lb = new elbv2.ApplicationLoadBalancer(this, 'LB', { vpc, internetFacing: true });
+const listener = lb.addListener('Listener', { port: 80 });
+service.registerLoadBalancerTargets(
+  {
+    containerTarget: {

+    },
+    targetGroupId: 'ECS',
+    listener: ecs.ListenerConfig.applicationListener(listener, {

 ### Include a classic load balancer
 `Services` can also be directly attached to a classic load balancer as targets:
