You need two things here as a minimum. One is a trigger (when should this thing be done) and the other the action (what to do when triggered)
There are a load of ways of pairing these two things together and using it with Jira, so your answer is really going to be about the best way to do it for yourself.
- Completely external to Jira, I've used a simple bash script that creates a new issue over the REST API (actually, I used to do this with SOAP before we had a REST API, and I do it a lot less now we have more options). Obviously, a bash script is for a *nix box, which is unlikely not to have Cron on it!
- Other end of the scale, all done inside Jira - write a service for Jira. Services can now be set to run on an internal Cron
- Add the Automation app, it has a "schedule" trigger and a "create issue" action.
- Add Scriptrunner, you can write services in that, and use the internal cron.
- and, and, and.
As you mention Cloud, I suspect the Automation may well be the best option - Automation is built into Cloud, so moving your cron/create config becomes trivial when you move over to Cloud.
