Prerequisites

There is no escape, running docker in docker needs the privileged flag, that can be done in the build project:

    "CodeBuildProject": {
      "Properties": {
        "Artifacts": {
          "Type": "CODEPIPELINE"
        },
        "Description": "using docker hub image do deploy",
        "Environment": {
          "ComputeType": "BUILD_GENERAL1_SMALL",
          "Image": "paiz0/aws-deployer:latest",
          "Type": "LINUX_CONTAINER",
          "PrivilegedMode": "true",

This image does not automatically starts the docker daemon, in order to use the docker in docker feature the daemon can be started in the install phase of your buildspec.yml ie:

version: 0.2

phases:
  install:
    commands:
      - nohup /usr/bin/dockerd --host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock --host=tcp://127.0.0.1:2375 --storage-driver=overlay > /var/log/dockerd &
      - sleep 15
#you can now pull images within within docker in docker
  build:
    commands:    
      - docker pull imagename:version

Alternatively build the image with an entrypoint as shown in the offical aws repo
