The site gives no suggestion of a cause for the outage, nor a timetable for fixing it -- other than to say services will be restored as soon as possible. On Tuesday, iCloud experienced a widespread FaceTime, iMessage and Game Center outage that lasted nearly two hours.
Update: It appears the outage is now limited to Documents in the Cloud only.

Apple and online services have never mixed and probably never will. It doesn't matter how much money they throw at it.
It would be great to be optimistic about thing and hope they improve but after a decade of constant screw ups and let downs it very difficult to do.
Apple's biggest problem is they have all these iToy's using the very small infrastructure they have placing it under extreme stress. To keep things running smoothly they should have had these new data centres built 5 years ago when they started the iToy's. That way they could have measured demand from one launch to another and set future plans for infrastructure expansion into motion ahead of time.
Instead they wait till the horse has bolted to close the stable door.
Maybe Cook ought to set aside $20BB or so to poach as many Google and Amazon engineers as possible and set their cloud services on the right path.
