How should you deploy code into the Content Management instance when using the Getting Started template?

To deploy code into the Content Management instance while using the Getting Started template, publishing the RenderingHost project from Visual Studio is the appropriate choice. This project is designed specifically to handle the rendering of content within the Sitecore environment, ensuring that your deployed application is correctly integrated and functional in the context of Sitecore’s presentation layer.

The RenderingHost project typically includes all necessary references, configurations, and assets required to display Sitecore content properly. By publishing this project directly from Visual Studio, you ensure that it interfaces correctly with the Sitecore platform and is optimized for the Content Management context.

In contrast, other options may not specifically target the necessary deployment processes suitable for content management. For example, while running a PowerShell script can be useful for various tasks, it may not provide the tailored deployment features you need for the Rendering capabilities. Similarly, copying files directly to a container generally lacks the validation and integration that publishing through Visual Studio ensures. Finally, publishing the Platform project may target a different audience or functionality, which might not align with the content presentation requirements within the Content Management instance.
