Answer

According to this Red Hat knowledge article (requires a RH login) https://access.redhat.com/solutions/31453 these messages typically mean that the system is experiencing resource congestion like memory,I/O,network and semaphore,etc. and processes are being starved of available resources.

I notice you're running Ubuntu but this will still be applicable here.

If you don't have Red Hat login then this covers much the same ground https://www.thegeekdiary.com/info-task-processpid-blocked-for-more-than-120-seconds-system-becomes-unresponsive/

In the AWS EC2 Console look in the Monitoring tab for the instance, is there anything suggesting excessive resource consumption?
