Launch instance with BIO software using frontend application

• If you do not have a MetaCentrum account, please try to create it according to the documentation at cloud pages
• The teacher should then add all students to the bioconductor group at https://perun.metacentrum.cz. This is necessary to provide access to the folder on NFS, etc. Also, we need to report the added logins to our Openstack colleagues for further action.

Frontend application

Frontend automates the steps required to launch the instance. The interface for manual startup and necessary settings that the frontend is not yet able to do is cloud dashboard.
