The Getting Started template deploys what type of Sitecore architecture?

The Getting Started template is specifically designed to deploy the Sitecore Experience Platform XP0 architecture. This architecture is a lightweight variant of the Sitecore Experience Platform, tailored for users who are beginning their journey with Sitecore or setting up a smaller development instance.

XP0 includes foundational features like content management, content delivery, and analytics without the additional complexities of features for a full-scale implementation. It's perfect for developers to experiment with Sitecore capabilities without needing the full resources or setup that larger deployments require.

As such, this option aligns with the purpose of the Getting Started template, which aims to provide ease of use and a straightforward entry point into Sitecore development. Other architecture choices, such as XP1 or Commerce, involve more extensive configurations and capabilities that exceed the scope of the Getting Started approach.
